Multiple colors can be printed by keying the paper to a frame around the woodblocks (where a different block is used for each color).

It can also be printed onto the zine by placing the woodcut face up on a table or other surface and placing the page to be printed onto the woodcut and then rubbing on the back of the page with a spoon to ensure an even application of the page to the print ink on the wood cut.
