repelled by the greasy areas and stays only where the drawing isrTt. Printer's ink (oily) is applied to the stone with a roller and it, in turn, sticks only to the greasy sections, as the water repels it elsewhere. The stone is then covered with a sheet of paper and run through the press to create the print. Though lithography literally means "stone drawing/' in modern times the expensive and unwieldy limestone błock has often been replaced by a grained metal piąte, in which case the print is sometimes called a zincograph.

SCREENPRINTING

(serigraphy, silk screen) is a versatile printing process based on the stencil principle. It was madę famous in the 1960s when artists such as Andy Warhol exploited its bold, commercial look to make Pop icons. To make a screen-print, a fine woven fabric is tightly stretched and attached to a metal or sturdy wood frame to form the printing screen. A stencil is created on the screen by applying a "blockout" (glue, paper, hand-cut film, or photosensitive emulsion or gelatin film) to all non-image areas. Ink is then applied to the entire screen using a squeegee which forces the ink to pass through the open area of the stencil onto paper or other materiał. For works with morę than one colour, a separate screen is required for each colour.

MONOTYPE/MONOPRINT

As their names imply, monotypes and monoprints (the words are often used interchangeably but shouldn't be) are prints that have an edition of one, though sometimes a second, weaker impression can be taken from the matrix. A monotype is madę by drawing a design in printing ink on any smooth surface, then covering that matrix with a sheet of paper and passing it through a press. The resulting image will be an exact reverse of the original drawing, but relatively flatter because of the pressure of the press. A monoprint is madę by taking an already etched and inked piąte and adding to the composition by manipulating additional ink on the surface of the piąte.

This produces an impression different in appearance from a conventionally printed impression from the same piąte. Since it is virtually impossible to manipulate the additional ink twice the same way, every monoprint impression will be different from every other one. Degas madę monotypes; Whistler madę monoprints.

DIGITAL PRINTS

Artists who create their works digitally or use digital manipulation in order to create a print may print them from a Computer using a large-scale ink jet printer. The ink is dispersed by a sophisticated print head in a fine mist of minutę droplets in order to deliver a continuous tonę image. "Iris" prints are madę using an ink jet printer manufactured by IRIS. These prints can be madę using highly-saturated, archival, water-based inks. The Epson process is often used in projects that involve a combination of printing technigues.
