This document discusses various printmaking techniques including acid etching, lino printing, collographs, direct offset monoprinting, additive and reductive monoprinting, monotypes, gyotaku fish printmaking, and gelatin monoprinting. The techniques involve drawing or collaging onto plates or surfaces, applying ink, and pressing onto paper to transfer the image. Some techniques like acid etching involve etching into metal plates while others like collographs build textures through collage that are then printed.

1. Printmaking
Techniques and Process

2. Acid etching: You start by drawing on a
Lino is a floor covering like you
metal sheet and then strong Acid
burns a groove in the metal. you put in

3. A Collograph is kind of collage that you cover with varnish and
then put ink on.You can press hard against some paper and all
the nice marks transfer to your page 

4. Direct Offset Monoprint

5. Colours can be added after your hand sometimes makes
its dry if you are using oil marks on the page where you
inks  this will not work if hold it against the ink, but it
you are using water based can make a really nice effect
inks 

7. Additive Monoprint –William Blake

8. Reductive Monoprint- Edgar
Degas

9. Heres how to do a very basic monotype!

10. GYOTAKU-Fish Rubbing Print..
ewww!

11. You can also print on various papers if you
like, this can give a nice effect

12. Gelatin Monoprint
