Art | Wonderful Printing Blooms Flowers —— Ten Common Problems in Calligraphy Printing and Their Solutions

Printing seems to be the patent of seal engravers, but it is not. Of course, the use of seals is the strength of seal engravers, but it is a compulsory course for every calligrapher.

Beginners often despise the use of printing, thinking that as long as the words are well written, the seal is just a procedure or embellishment, saying, "Good works are good without seals!" This contempt is actually a fatal mistake. The depth of self-cultivation with seal is actually an important watershed for the maturity of a calligraphy author.

At the appraisal site, smart judges often decide the life and death of the work according to the level of the author's seal. It can be seen that printing is a science to be reckoned with, which means "one-vote veto".

Then print it-make the finishing point. The finishing touch, is it a small matter? I am well aware of the hardships of beginners and the difficulty of learning arts. However, there are few articles devoted to printing in books and newspapers. I would like to talk about my ignorance and humble opinion. I will tell the whole story with common diseases and treatments, and I will listen to them for your reference.

As the saying goes:

The right medicine. In this analysis, there are ten common symptoms of incorrect printing.

This is the fatal factor that directly destroys the work. Not only can't make the finishing point, but the beauty's face is covered with mud.

Treatment method:

Ask a clever sculptor to carve a few lines. Don't care about money, because a good seal is an investment that will benefit you for life. And a poor seal is a life-long misery that saves money.

This is a low-level mistake, just like wearing a suit and a straw hat.

Treatment method:

Replace the artistic seal immediately.

Many people buy inferior inkpad or replace it with ordinary inkpad to save money. Not to mention the bad color, it is often just covered, printing oil will seep out and spoil the scenery.

Treatment method:

Renew ideas, invest once and benefit for a long time.

It's best to buy a box of 60 grams or 90 grams of Shanghai Xiling inkpad.

The cover is upside down, that is, the head and foot of the seal are upside down. Once it is found that it is too late to regret, a work will be ruined. What's more, a friend didn't know it, but sent it to the competition and was selected as the winning work, but it was finally won by the judges with their seals. Carelessness, contempt for stamping, is bound to reap the consequences.

The disease of crooked cover, square printing is better, and the disease of round printing and random printing is very common.

Treatment method:

Be careful, you know stamping your feet is like stepping on the battlefield, and you should not underestimate your enemy's carelessness. You'd better try to put the seal on the toilet paper first. If you form this habit, you will never get sick.

Fifth, virtual.

Divided into overall deficiency and local deficiency. The imprint is shallow and the seal is too weak, which makes the finishing point. Repeated sealing with cymbals is easy to form a double image, but the more you cover it, the more flowers you spend. This disease is mostly caused by carelessness.

Treatment method 1:

Master the correct capping skills.

A, the heart should be quiet and thin. Stamp your feet like a hammer, and you must not be careless.

B, dip in the inkpad evenly. Let the inkpad soak the printing surface evenly and fully. It is often uneven in the middle or local area, leading to deficiency. Even if the inkpad is uniform, there may be shortcomings. Some people stamp it rashly, just like stamping an official seal. How can it be empty? )

C. When sealing the wok, first of all, make sure the sealing is correct (cover it on the toilet paper as far as possible) and the position is correct (behind). It is best to put a thin book under the paper (don't be too soft, it will be spent if it is too soft, especially when printing positive films; Not too hard, especially hard objects such as glass or desktop. At the same time pay attention to the bottom must be flat. Secondly, press hard (to prevent dislocation) and shake gently to make the left and right sides stress evenly. Once again, ensure that the capping time is about half a minute, and ensure that the printing oil penetrates into the rice paper. Finally, gently lift the seal from one side to prevent the rice paper from sticking. It is very important to practice the above methods repeatedly and form habits.

Treatment method 2:

If it is insufficient, it can be covered with transparent tape, and it can be pasted repeatedly until it is completely pasted, and then covered. Pay attention to prevent sticking rice paper or sticker lines when sticking, and try not to show traces.

Refers to the phenomenon of mud marks caused by too much inkpad or improper covering. This phenomenon is very dazzling, and if it is not handled, it will inevitably affect the overall effect.

Treatment method:

1, no inferior inkpad;

2. If the surface of the new inkpad is too wet, gently dip it evenly, and then cover it on the toilet paper once and then cover it again;

3. If there is too much inkpad, not only cover it first, but also pay attention to wiping the surrounding inkpad;

4. If turbidity has formed, try gluing, that is, cover the impression with adhesive tape and paste it repeatedly. If you are still not satisfied after repeated pasting, you can cover it on the same kind of paper again. If you are satisfied, you can cut it along the outer edge (slightly larger), stick it on the frame and stick the original impression.

Most of them are caused by the soft cushion or felt cover when printing with letterpress.

Treatment method:

There is no such thing as changing a thin book. If the disease has become, you can try the above pasting method to remedy it.

For example, if you write blessings, longevity and other festive content in red, it will be black if you stamp it with red inkpad.

Treatment method:

1. Clean the seal and cover it with white inkpad or yellow inkpad.

2. If there is only red inkpad, cover the seal on white paper or other paper, and cut it with the edge (slightly larger) for good adhesion.

1, the introductory chapter plays a leading role, neither too low (meaning one) nor too high. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to start from the first word to the third word. If there is the preceding paragraph, it is generally not appropriate to use the first chapter to avoid the disease of pressing your head on your head.

2. The name stamp should be located in the next chapter of the paragraph. If both sides are covered, it should be separated by more than one chapter, not too close or too far. There are too few positions under the section, so it should not be too biased when it needs to be covered. Just cover with bias.

3. Although the waist chapter is called the waist chapter, it should be avoided that the position it covers is consistent with the name chapter and preface chapter. Waist chapter is actually a casual chapter, which is used to embellish long and large works. If there is no suitable space, it should not be covered, so as not to gild the lily and become a disorder.

1, at most two seals are required, and some people use three.

2. The contents of the two seals should be complementary. For example, Jiang Shi, Qiu Bangyin or Master of Pen and Ink, Qiu Bangyin, and pay attention to the collocation of Yin and Yang. And some people, either yin has yang, or although there is a yin and a yang, the contents of the two pieces are the same. For example, "Qiujiang Bangyin" in the yin and "Qiujiang Bangyin" in the yang.

3. Famous seals pay more attention to rules than scattered seals, so square seals are generally used instead of round seals or irregular seals. And some often use a circle, a flat or two pieces that are not square, which is a misunderstanding.

4. Two famous seals should be equal in size, but some people are one big and one small, and even the sizes are quite different.

5. The content of the leisure chapter should correspond to the content of calligraphy, which is complementary and interesting. For example, the content of calligraphy is a painting by Li Qingzhao, while the content of leisure chapter should not be "music".

Some people say that "the more seals, the more valuable." But most of them refer to ancient and modern famous calligraphy and painting. After vicissitudes of life, the number of collectors has changed, and many people have signed and stamped more and more. Beginners should not follow suit. Generally, a scholar has three seals, and the fourth one doesn't know how to seal it. If he insists on covering too much, it will inevitably lead to ignorance and confusion.

Of course, writing is irregular, and stamping is not a dead number. Stamps are also a tool for the author to express his feelings. A true master of printing can do whatever he wants without exceeding the distance. Every seal is full of his feelings, thoughts and achievements. He can accurately perceive the proper position of each seal, just like Mr. Feng Shui acupoints. Looking at the mountain is not a mountain, but a dragon, a white tiger, a crane and a phoenix.
