    i but my block up against a 1" piece of heavy wood and tape the piece of paper to that piece of wood. That way I can flip it down on to the linoblock, burnish, and lift. If for some reason I have an uneven print I can flip the paper back down while keeping it registered. Works quite well. As for getting an even print without burnishing I would think that would be quite hard unless you were using a press. I am rather new at it though so an expert I am not. That wetcanvas forum has a lot a good info.... a lot of really shitty prints... but good info.
