10. Images made by printing on the surface of the stone or surface
Lithography
Images made by printing on the surface of the stone or surface
A greasy (oil-based) crayon is applied to a smooth block of limestone.
The stone is ground down, acid is applied to clean it, water is sponged onto the stone and oil-based ink is rolled on.
Ink will only stick to the crayon but not the water.
Paper is placed on top and a large press applies pressure to transfer the ink.

14. Images made by printing from the lower surface
Intaglio
Images made by printing from the lower surface
Lines are cut or etched into a smooth plate of metal
Ink is rubbed into the grooves and the surface is wiped clean
Damp paper is forced into the inked grooves by heavy printing press

20. Image made by painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface one time
Monotype Printing
Image made by painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface one time
An image is painted
The paper is pressed onto the image, transferring it.
The unique aspect of a monotype is that the plate can never be replicated.

24. Images made by printing from a raised surface
Relief Printing
Images made by printing from a raised surface
The lowered area does not print – stays the color of the paper.
One color ink
Examples – woodcuts, linoleum cuts, found objects, fingerprints

29. Reduction Printing Relief printing using more than one color
Every time a color is printed, that particular color will be carved away, reducing the block down and eliminating that color in order to print a different color
