^ Digz, Linocuts are pressure printed from a piece of lino - like standard floor linoleum - which has been cut into to make a relief. You ink the linoleum after cutting your design in it, then you press the paper on to it. Where the lino makes contact with the paper, it deposits ink, where it has been cut away, it doesn't.
Like woodcuts, but when linoleum was invented it was easier to cut and cheaper to work with than wood. Lino was the Apple Mac of printmaking.
