Woodblock Prints

How can you an original Japanese woodblock print from a copy ? Bleeding on reverse of print ? Thanks !?
Are you talking about transferring an image?
There are a couple ways.
Two of the easiest are using cheap contact paper or acrylic matte medium.
Make a copy of the image on a copy machine or printer. With the cheap contact paper, peel the contact paper and put it directly on the image. Make sure you rub it down hard with a wooden spoon or something similar. Place it is a small basin of water for about 10 minutes. You should then be able to just roll the paper off and the image will stay. It will be light but it will be there. And the more of the paper you roll off the more contact paper will remain and you can just stick it on something!
The acrylic matte medium you can get at any art supply store. This will work on canvas or board but not paper. Put down a fair amount of the medium on the canvas or board. Place the image face down on top and rub it down with a spoon. Let it dry for 24 hours. Then take a sponge and rub the paper off. Again you will left with the image on the board, but it will be fairly light. This method will also leave the image in reverse so keep that in mind. This one also takes a little more practice to get right
Hope that helps. There are definitely other methods of transfer but they start getting more complicated. Also, all methods of transfer will leave the image lighter than it was, except of course just photocopying it.
