Print Making

Intaglio...

Intaglio printing is created by engraving, etching, drypoint or aquatint an image into the matrix. The matrix is then covered in black ink and rubbed with a cloth to wipe off the excess ink. The ink stays in the engraved image then printed onto a damp piece of paper through a printing press, the ink is then transferred from the matrix to the paper.

Relief Printing...


Relief printing is an image created by printmaking such as woodcut where the areas of the matrix that are to show printed usually black are on the original surface, the parts of the matrix that have no ink after being carved away. Printing the image is a simple process, rolling ink onto the surface of the matrix and laying in firmly onto the paper, then the image is pressed by hand with a simple hand tool such as a brayer or roller.

Curwen Planographic Print



Planographic


Planographic printing is where the image is printed from a flat surface. This is chemically prepared to hold on to printing ink from which they will be transferred onto the paper, while rejecting it in these areas, which will keep blank on the paper. The process utilizes the property that water will not mix with oil.








Stencil


Stencil graffiti is a way of using paper, card or other forms of media to create an image or text that can easily be reproduced. Cutting away sections from templates to create text or an image to form a stencil. In most cases the image or text is spray-painted onto a surface but another method is roll on paint.
