What is a reduction relief print?
In relief printing, a reduction print is a multicolour print in which the separate colours are printed from the same image at different stages. Usually, the lightest colour of the design is printed first, then the block is "reduced" by carving to the areas which the artist wants to print the second colour from, and so forth. The disadvantage of reduction printing as opposed to printing from multiple blocks is that once the first colour is printed, the matrix for it is destroyed in the creation of the printing matrix for the second colour. It is impossible to undo mistakes. This print was carved from a single sheet of 5.5mm plywood.
