I usually pull a couple of prints on scrap paper before busting out my print paper.  It takes a little while for the block to get up to snuff and soak up enough ink to really give a solid print.  I drop my paper onto the block and burnish the back side of it with a large solid spoon that I have.  It is a delicate balance between using enough ink and over doing it, using too much ink makes your lines muddy.  This is usually when I remember what hard work this all is.

I'm pulling ten copies of this print and it will soon be available on my Etsy site for purchase.  The print is on 4 different colors of paper that will be shipped out at random.
