Lino printing involves drawing an image, tracing it onto lino, cutting out the lines with a woodblock for support, applying ink to the lino with a roller, and printing the image onto paper. The process allows for unique designs but each print must be done individually and it takes a long time. Laser and offset lithography are digital printing processes that can print many high-quality copies quickly but require expensive equipment.
