1. PRINTING

2. Printing
 Printing – is the way of tranfering a
design to another material.

3. Four Types of
Printmaking
There are four main types
of printmaking. The process
and materials of these
techniques influence the
appearance of the final
print.

4. The Four Types of
Printmaking are:
1. Relief Printing
2. Intaglio (engraving)
3. Planography (lithography)
4. Stencil (Serigraphy)

5. 1. RELIEF PRINTING
This is printing from a
raised surface. A simple
example of relief printing
is a rubber stamp
presssed into a stamp
pad and pressed onto a
piece of paper.

6. Relief Printing Plates
are made from flat sheets of material
such as wood, linoleum, cardboard,
styrofoam, etc.
After drawing a picture on the surface,
the artist uses tools to cut away the
areas that will not print
or builds up the surface that will print.

7. Relief Printing -
Tools
A roller - called a brayer - is used to
spread ink on the plate. A sheet of
paper is placed on top of the plate and
the image is transferred by rubbing
with the hand or by being run through
a a printing press.
The completed print is a mirror image of
the original plate.

8. 2. INTAGLIO
This describes prints that are made by
cutting the picture into the surface of
the printing plate.
Using a sharp V-shaped tool - called a
burin - the printmaker gouges the lines
of an image into the surface of a
smooth polished sheet of metal or in
some cases a piece of plexiglass.

9. Intaglio Printing
To make a print, ink is pushed into
the lines of the design. The
surface is then wiped clean so
that the only areas with ink are
the lines.
A sheet of paper which has been
soaked in water is then placed on
the plate which is run through a
printing press.

10. 3. PLANOGRAPHY
As we have just learned,
relief prints are created from
a raised surface, and
intaglio prints are created
from a cut surface.
Planography however, is the
printing of a flat surface.

11. Planography - Lithography
Lithography is the art of
printing from a flat stone
or metal plate by a
method based on the
simple fact that grease
attracts grease as it
repels water.

12. Planography -
Lithography Printing
In Lithography an image is
drawn on the surface with a
greasy material - grease
crayon - and then water and
printing ink are applied. The
greasy parts absorb the ink
and the wet parts do not.

13. 4. STENCIL
A stencil is a sheet of paper,
fabric, plastic, metal or other
material with designs cut, or
punched from it.
Ink is forced through the
openings onto the surface to
be printed.

14. STENCIL:
Serigraphy
(Seri means silk)
Serigraphy, sometimes
called silk screening, is a
type of stencil printing.

15. STENCIL:
Serigraphy
A stencil is fastened to a sheet of
silk which is tightly stretched
across a wooden frame. The
frame is placed against the
material to be printed. A
squeegee is used to push the
ink through the open areas onto
the material or paper below.

16. Screen printing
 Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is
used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made
impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A blade or
squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh
apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the
screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of
contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be
pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back
after the blade has passed.
