Colour
Wood Engraving
Colour
is almost extraneous to wood engraving
with its emphasis on tonal qualities, though
a few artists did experiment.
Whereas
both colour woodcuts and lino prints can
be and generally are printed by hand, colour
wood engraving demands one of the versions
of the platen press.
As
in conventional woodcut and linocut a different
block is made for each colour and oil-based
printing ink applied with a roller.
