- 3. WHAT IS PRINTMAKING? -Printmakingis the process of making artworks by an indirect transfer process, where a design is created on one surface and then printed onto another. The process is capable of producing multiples of the same piece, which is called a print. -Each piece is known as an impression and is not a copy but an original since it is not a reproduction of another work of art. Painting or drawing, on the other hand, can only create individual pieces of artwork. Prints are created from a ‘matrix’, a single original surface. -Works printed from a single plate create an edition, each one of which is signed and numbered.
- 4. ENGRAVING Engraving is anold method of intaglio printmaking that involves carving the metal to create the design. Artists had to spend years learning how to reproduce high quality designs without making mistakes. This was an especially difficult method for artists to master, and soon gave way to etching.
- 5. EXAMPLE OF EARLYENGRAVING The Queen of Flowers Master of the Playing Cards (German, active ca. 1425–50)
- 6. ETCHING Etching is alsoan old type of intaglio printmaking. In this process, a strong acid is used to dissolve away parts of the metal surface that were unprotected. This created the design, and became a much simpler method for artists to utilize.

- 8. SCREENPRINTING Screenprinting or serigraphyis a type of stenciling that involves designing an image and then applying the paint or ink through a screen which is typically called a silk screen. The stenciled image blocks the ink on the other side to create the image.

- 11. MONOTYPES • Monotypes area unique type of printmaking, in that while reprinting is possible, there is usually only one acceptable printing, that being the first one. Paint or ink is applied to a smooth surface such as cooper or glass, and then through a printing press, the image is pressed to a sheet of paper. Most of the paint or ink is removed during the first pressing, so prints after the first are considered "ghost prints".

- 13. GYOTAKU Gyotaku (Japanese 魚拓,from gyo "fish" + taku "stone impression") is the traditional Japanese method of printing fish, a practice which dates back to the mid-1800s. This form of nature printing was used by fishermen to record their catches, but has also become an art form of its own.
