The linocuts as they come from Signor Rapp are just that: cut pieces of art linoleum. I now have to get them up to type height ready for the press. As a first step I've used a special two-sided adhesive film that comes in sheet form to stick each linocut down onto a thick piece of MDF. A further thinner piece of MDF and some board and I am about there - I can make final adjustments by underlaying with sheets of paper on the bed of the press.
