(All rights reserved 2011 Minoru Suganuma)




Rollergraph is a printmaking new technique for Monotype,
and was developed by artist Minoru SUGANUMA in January 2011.
Don't make up a plate, and you can put on the oil ink at the plate use the roller.
This is the reason why you can make a print like a paintely and impromptu.

You should prepare next art material.
Press machine, hard plastic board,
oil ink ( not so stickness ink is better than tough it.)
rubber roller, print paper and thin paper
Let's roll the oil ink by roller on the hard plastic board freely.
It is a point that you should roll the ink uniformly.
After do it, you should put on the paper on the plate to the bed of press machine.
I usually make a print allover, and allways the plate larger than paper.
I use the paper dry condition.
You must stick the thin paper among the plate and the felt cloth before you will press the paper because of not get dirty at the felt cloth.
