  1. Printmaking The art or technique of making prints, especially as practiced in engraving, etching, dry point, woodcut, or serigraphy

  2. Why is printmaking important? What is it good for? • Printmaking is important, because it allows an artist or person to print the exact same image multiple times without having to redraw it over and over and over again. Therefore, if someone needs to make a large amount of copies of the same image, they often turn to printmaking.

  3. Some examples…?

  4. Printmaking • There are several types of printmaking… • Relief Printing • woodcut • linoleum • Etching • Screen printing • Lithography

  5. Etching • The act or process of making decisions or pictures on a metal plate, glass, etc, by the corrosive action of an acid

  6. Screen printing • A print made by using a stencil process in which an image or design is superimposed on a very fine mesh screen and printing ink is squeegeed onto the printing surface through the area of the screen that is not covered by the stencil

  7. Lithography • The process of printing from a flat surface treated so as to repel the ink except where it is required for printing

  8. Examples: • Woodcut • Linoleum • stamps Relief Printing • Printing methods in which a block of wood, linoleum, or some other material’s surface is carved so that an image can be printed from it

  9. Common Tools and terms of Relief Printing • Gouge • Brayer • Burnish • Artist’s Proof • Edition • Registration

  10. Gouge • An engraving tool used to carve out linoleum

  11. Brayer • A tool used to roll ink onto a surface by hand, usually in block printing

  17. Printmaking things to remember when creating a relief print… • When creating a woodcut, linoleum cut, or other type of printing plate, you have to draw things or write words BACKWARD as it will appear the opposite way on the actual print • The raised areas or the areas you leave when you carve the design are what will print • If while you are carving, your hand slips and accidentally makes a mark…that mark WILL show on the print • The print paper must always have NO marks on it
