Printmaking is the process of creating artworks by transferring an image from a master surface (the matrix) onto another surface, most often paper or fabric. Techniques include relief printing (woodcut, linocut), intaglio (etching, engraving, aquatint), lithography, screenprinting (serigraphy), and digital printmaking. Each method employs a different approach to transferring the image, resulting in unique visual characteristics and allowing for the creation of multiples (editions) of the same artwork, though monoprints create unique images. printmaking blends artistic creativity with technical skill. The artist chooses which technique(s) best reflect their vision.
