Ink PRINTsA lot can be expressed with simple black-line artwork just as it was back in the 12th to 16th Centuries. Traditionally, all European woodcut art was printed using just black ink. If color woodcuts appear in medieval books, they were hand-colored after they were printed and this was often done by the purchaser of the book themselves. Some books were sold containing hand-colored woodcut images but these were uncommon, at least prior to the 16th Century, and were far more expensive than books that contained single color woodcut prints. Having specialized in printmaking in art school, I got in a lot of practice in the various printing methods.
