This is a new relief printing technique by cutting out shapes from sheets magnet as printing plates. The magnet sheets are placed on a thin sheet of steel to keep them in place. With this setup one can employ linoleum cut monotype and soft point technique for producing relief prints. This technique can be used in both intaglio presses as well as letterpresses. This technique allows the freedom of compositions and prints multiple colors with a single pass.
