This document provides step-by-step instructions for creating a lino print using multiple colors. It explains that the process involves making successive cuts to the lino printing plate to reduce the areas that will print, and layering different colored inks on the plate to create an image where the lighter colors show through the darker ones. The instructions are divided into sections for the initial cutting, the first print, the second cutting, the second print, the third cutting, and the final print.
