Back in high school we did linoleum carving for prints. Our teacher had 2 bowls in the back, 1 of bleach for the inevitable blade that went into a finger, 1 of water to rinse said finger before soap hit it. Every day there was always a yelp from the first person to get the bowls wrong
Yep! You use a rag and a solvent such as mineral spirits, rubbing alcohol, or even household cleaners to get the ink remnants off the plate so it can be used again. It doesn't get it to perfectly clean, but clean enough to prevent problems reprinting. The cuts are usually about 1/16 or deeper, and get almost no ink in them. The original flat surface is what carries the ink.
It's just a demonstration for the camera. The artist would make sure it was sufficiently inked everywhere to make a proper print. This artist is an expert, so no need to be upset.

I have a wild idea ... what if they used one big ass-roller and inked the whole block at once?

Ooh, I remember doing one of these back in high school. The other kids hated it, cutting themselves. But I loved the process.

It’s very upsetting to me that they missed a couple spots.

This and that you can see the first roll because its more saturated? with ink
realbrickwall
No, those are just spots that are cut deeper so that when you paint it carefully with a roller, you can see a cool picture.
