Preparing for the Invitations

Im carving a wood block to print a design on each invitation. I sketched out the design, transferred it to the block (backwards of course), and began carving. The process will go as follows:

ink the roller
roll the roller over the block to ink the block
check the ink- not to thick not to thin, nice and even
lay the paper on top
press the paper into the ink- this is the hard part, the pressure has to be even and heavy,
with out moving the paper, and i cant miss any spots
peel off the paper
let it dry
sign, date, and number

and do that about a hundred times. this is going to take for.ever.
