2. Etching is is the process of using
strong acid or mordant to cut into the
unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a
design in intaglio in the metal
Hand print
Disadvantages: time consuming, if updated the
Circuit will need to be redesigned
Advantages: Can be multiply done at once,
Compact in build and designee
3. Linocut is a printmaking technique, a variant
of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum is used for
the relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum
surface with a sharp knife, V-
shaped chisel or gouge, with the raised areas
representing a reversal of the parts to show printed
Hand Print
Advantages- looks beautiful when done correctly
Disadvantages- need to be skilled in the trade of
linocut for the peace to look good
4. Screen printing is a printing technique that
uses a woven mesh to support an ink-
blocking stencil to receive a desired image. The
attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that
transfer ink or other printable materials which
can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-
edged image onto a substrate. A fill blade or
squeegee is moved across the screen
stencil, forcing or pumping ink through the
mesh openings to wet the substrate during the
squeegee stroke.
Hand Print
Advantages- uses less ink and can
be printed on to a variety of
materials.
Disadvantages- you need special
equipment.
5. Woodcut—occasionally known
as xylography—is a relief printing artistic
technique in printmaking in which an image is
carved into the surface of a block of wood, with
the printing parts remaining level with the
surface while the non-printing parts are
removed, typically with gouges
Hand Print
Advantages- looks beautiful creates 3D
effect
Disadvantages- takes along time and
chose wood maybe unstable and break
during production
6. Lithography (from Greek λίθος, lithos, "stone"
and γράφειν, graphein, to write) is a method
of printing originally based on the principle
that oil and water do not mix
Hand Print
Advantages- unique look of art doesn't
take too long.
Disadvantages-uses specific materials that
cost allot.
7. Letterpress printing is a technique of relief
printing using a printing press. A worker
composes and locks movable type into the bed
of a press, inks it, and presses paper against it
to transfer the ink from the type which creates
an impression on the paper.
Mechanical
Advantages-process dose large amount I a few
minutes
Disadvantages-machineries cost allot
8. Rotogravure (Roto or Gravure for short) is a
type of intaglio printing process, which
involves engraving the image onto an image
carrier. In gravure printing, the image is
engraved onto a cylinder because, like offset
printing and flexography, it uses a rotary
printing press. Once a staple of newspaper
photo features, the rotogravure process is still
used for commercial printing of
magazines, postcards, and corrugated
(cardboard) product packaging.
Mechanical
Advantages- quick process very efficient
Disadvantages- machineries cost allot

10. A photocopier (also known as a copier or copy
machine) is a machine that makes paper copies
of documents and other visual images quickly
and cheaply.
Digital
Advantages- copy images and documents quickly
and cheaply
Disadvantages-uses a lot of energy.
11. Laser printing is an electrostatic digital
printing process that rapidly produces high
quality text and graphics by passing a laser
beam over a charged drum to define a
differentially charged image.
Digital
Advantages- rapidly produces high quality text
and graphics
Disadvantages-uses a lot of electricty
12. Inkjet printing is a type of computer
printing that creates a digital image by
propelling droplets of ink onto
paper, plastic, or other substrates. Inkjet
printers are the most commonly used type of
printer and range from small inexpensive
consumer models to very large professional
machines that can cost tens of thousands of
dollars, or more.
Digital
Advantages- prints onto a lot of different of
objects
Disadvantages-uses a lot of electricity
13. Desktop publishing (abbreviated DTP) is the
creation of documents using page layout skills
on a personal computer. Desktop publishing
software can generate layouts and produce
typographic quality text and images
comparable to traditional
typography and printing.
Digital
Advantages- is a software so only takes data
not space
Disadvantages-uses a lot of electricity on
computer and takes data
