Linocut

Linocut is a variant of woodcut, in which a sheet of linoluem is used for the relief surface. The image is carved out of the surface, with the raised parts that remain at the level of the surface being the printing parts; linoluem is much easier to cut than wood, but the pressure of the printing process degrades the plate faster.
