1 Printmaking Terms And Their Definitions

2 Brayer the roller used to apply ink to the block

3 Block/ plate Piece of flat material (wood, linoleum, metal, rubber) used to make a print

4 Burnish to smooth a surface by rubbing it with a tool that has a hard smooth surface

5 Collograph A printmaking process made from arranged materials on a hard surface arranged lie a collage, ink is applied and the resulting prints is termed a collograph

6 Edition the total number of prints made at one time from the block (i.e. if 50 prints are made, on the bottom left hand corner of each print you would write 1/50, 2/50, 3/50, 4/50 etc.)

7 Gouge The V (chisel like) tool used to carve the block

8 Carving the block with the gouge

9 Ink water based, thick consistency, used with brayer and applied to block.

10 Inking tray or slab smooth, non absorbent surface to roll out ink

11 Mirror Image The print is the opposite of the block image

12 Print The image made from the block

13 Pulling the Print Slowly pulling away the paper from the block

14 Reduction Print A multicolored print made from one block which is carved away after each color/ layer has been printed

15 Block Phase 1

16 Block Phase 2

17 Block Phase 3

18 Registration Guide In printmaking processes requiring more than one application of ink or other medium, the problem exists as to how to line up properly areas of an image to receive ink in each application. The most obvious example of this would be a multi-color image in which each color is applied in a separate step. The lining up of the results of each step in a multistep printmaking process is called "registration."

19 Relief print Print created using the process where ink is placed on raised patterns of the whole block

20 Rubbing Technique used to transfer the textual quality of a surface or paper

21 Subtractive process taking something away from material

22 Proof a trial or practice print
