Too much ink; or, ink too thin; or, pressure too great; or, block of wood too soft; or, paper too dry.
Problem:
In using a burnisher, you cannot get a good black or dark.
Solution:
Use a thinner, tougher rice paper and damp it; or, add a miserly drop or two of varnish to the ink; or, try adding some oil paint to the ink; or, print in oil paint.
