About Mono-print

Mono-prints are one of the most effective types of print. Although it seems simple, not everyone gets on with this sort of print. I personally love it as it is instant and one can use it on-site, it is a versatile sort of print and it also allows for the creation of quite detailed images.

The process is as follows:

• Roll block print ink (slow drying ink) onto a perspex or glass sheet;
• Ensure there is just the right amount of ink, too much ink and the print will be blotchy. Too little ink and you wont have a print at all;
• Then place lightly on top of the ink a sheet of light weight paper - news print is the best;
• then, using a pencil draw on the paper (bearing in mind that any writing will need to be reversed in order for the print to be readable) try ensure that only the tip of the pencil is in contact with the paper because wherever you press the ink will adhere to the paper.
• Finally peel back the news print paper and dry your print.
