March 28th - 2022: It Won't Fit!

So, annoyingly, after trying to print with my new wood block, I have found that I will not print at all, this is due to a misunderstanding of the machinery/equipment (print press) that I am using, as well as the thickness of the plywood which my wood block is made out of.

Tried to loosen the printpress, specifically the upper cylinder so that the wood block could be slid through, be realised that it wasn't going to happen. This will be something to work on and try to solve, but currently until a solution is found I cannot make any woodblocks bigger than A3, as anything bigger than that size will not fit onto the relief-printpress that is available to me. This is don to the fact as well that the design I made for my wood block was highly detailed, mainly in text, and would not be readable on a small wood block due to the ink moving and being under pressure when put through a printpress with a wood block.
