It was very easy - with one catch. I HIGHLY Recommend having access to a rolling printing press to get the pressure needed to transfer the ink from the plate to the print.
It is worth a try. Because the ink is down in the scratches and not on top of the block, it takes a bit of pressure to get it onto the paper. Also, using a rag-based paper around 300 gsm and wetting it is key. You want to get the paper wet, then dry it off to the point that it is damp, but will press into the scratches and release the ink onto the paper.

That makes sense. I think they have a pasta roller for their polymer clay programs. Might that work at a small scale?
