Reduction Print

In Relief printing a multi-color image is printed by using only one block. After the first color is printed, usually the lightest color, that area is cut away and the next color is printed. These steps are repeated successively until the last color is printed. Since so much of the block has been cut away the image cannot be printed again from this block.
