Glossary Of Art Terms
[1] |
Printmaking Printmaking is the act of transferring ink through a screen or plate (a matrix) onto paper or another substrate.
As an art, printmaking does not extend to the reproduction of original artworks in other mediums. Rather, the term refers to any number of techniques that allow for multiple reproductions of the same image to be created.
Due to the process, each "impression" will vary slightly from the others making each an original, not a copy. Often a limited number of impressions - called an "edition" - will be created from each plate, after which time the plate is destroyed to guarantee the exclusivity of the edition. |
