Lino cut printing
Linocutting and woodcutting are similar relief printmaking techniques.
Lino cut printing
The difference is that lino (i.e. linoleum) is softer and easier to cut than wood. The uncut surface produces the image. Most artists draw the image directly onto the lino block and then cut away the space around and in between the image, leaving the drawn areas raised.
