The document discusses various printmaking techniques including hand printing, etching, intaglio, linocut, screen printing, wood cut, lithography, mechanical letterpress and gravure printing, and digital photocopying, laser printing, inkjet printing, desktop publishing, and digital printing. It provides brief definitions and descriptions of the printing processes for each technique.

1. Task 2
HAND PRINTING

2. ETCHING
 A methods to make prints from metal plate,
 Usually copper, into which the design has
been incised by acid.

3. Intaglio
 In visual arts, one of the four major classes of
 Printmaking techniques , distinguished from
the other three methods (relief printing,
stencilling, . and lithography.

4. Linocut
 Is a printmaking technique, variant of
woodcut in which a sheet of
linoleum(sometimes mounted on a wooden
block) is used for the relief surface.
 .

5. Screen printing
 Is a printing technique that use a woven mesh
 To support an ink –blocking stencil to receive
 A desired image.

6. Wood cut
 Is a relief printing artistic technique in
printmaking in which an image is carved into
 The surface of a block of wood.

7. Lithography
 Is a method of printing originally based on
the principle that oil and water do not mix.
 Printing is from a stone ( Lithography
limestone) or a metal plate with smooth
surface.

8. Mechanical
 Letterpress
 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.
 Gravure
 is a type of intaglio printing process, which
involves engraving the image onto an image
carrier.

9. Digital
 Photocopying is a machine that makes paper copies of documents
and other visual images quickly and cheaply.
 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.
 Inkjet 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.
 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
traditionalty pographyand printing.
 refers to methods of printing from a digital-based image directly to
a variety of media
