Relief techniques include woodcut or woodblock, wood engraving, linocut and metalcut. Relief, where ink is applied to the original surface of the matrix, while carved or displaced grooves are absent of ink.Printmaking techniques are generally divided into the following basic categories:
Printmaking: Woodcuts and Engravings, Smarthistory Prints may also be printed in book form, such as illustrated books or artist's books. Since the late 19th century, artists have generally signed individual impressions from an edition and often number the impressions to form a limited edition the matrix is then destroyed so that no more prints can be produced. Multiple impressions printed from the same matrix form an edition. Other types of matrix substrates and related processes are discussed below. Screens made of silk or synthetic fabrics are used for the screen printing process. Common types of matrices include: metal etching plates, usually copper or zinc, or polymer plates and other thicker plastic sheets for engraving or etching stone, aluminum, or polymer for lithography blocks of wood for woodcuts and wood engravings and linoleum for linocuts. Prints are created by transferring ink from a matrix to a sheet of paper or other material, by a variety of techniques. A print that copies another work of art, especially a painting, is known as a "reproductive print". Historically, many printed images were created as a preparatory study, such as a drawing. Master printmakers are technicians who are capable of printing identical "impressions" by hand. However, impressions can vary considerably, whether intentionally or not. Each print produced is considered an "original" work of art, and is correctly referred to as an "impression", not a "copy" (that means a different print copying the first, common in early printmaking). Except in the case of monotyping, all printmaking processes have the capacity to produce identical multiples of the same artwork, which is called a print. "Traditional printmaking" normally covers only the process of creating prints using a hand processed technique, rather than a photographic reproduction of a visual artwork which would be printed using an electronic machine ( a printer) however, there is some cross-over between traditional and digital printmaking, including risograph. Printmaking is the process of creating artworks by printing, normally on paper, but also on fabric, wood, metal, and other surfaces.
