4 Major Processes to Create Prints
• Relief• Intaglio• Planographic.• Stencil
Ahhhh! Well, that’s a Relief….print.
• Relief: where ink is applied to the original surface of the matrix.
• A= Matrix• B= Paper
• -= Ink
• Relief techniques include: woodcut or woodblock as the Asian forms are usually known, wood engraving, linocut and metalcut;
The majority of the prints you create will be made in the Relief Printing Process.
Examples of Relief Printing
Intaglio
• Intaglio: where ink is applied beneath the original surface of the matrix.
• Intaglio techniques include: engraving, etching, mezzotint, aquatint
• We will most likely NOT be using this technique in this class.
Intaglio Examples
Planographic
• Planographic: where the matrix retains its original surface, but is specially prepared and/or inked to allow for the transfer of the image.
• Planographic techniques include: lithography, monotyping, and digital techniques.
Stencil
• Stencil: where ink or paint is pressed through a prepared screen,
• including: screenprinting and pochoir.
