PRINTING BASICS

 You have a Printing Plate which is the surface

nto or into which the image is placed

 A Transfer is made when you pull a print from

the printing plate. It is a mirror image.

 When you make a printing plate, several 100’s or

1000’s of prints can be made from the plate

 An Edition is a group of identical prints, all made

from the same plate.

PRINTING AN EDITION- WHAT TO KNOW

 The artist chooses the best prints for the edition  They are numbered in order of how they were printed  When the edition is complete prints are numbered. The

number of the print pulled goes on top/the number of total prints pulled goes under

 Under the pulled print, the proper way to label an edition

is:

“Title” #of print pulled/# of total prints pulled

Artist Signature & Completion date

INTAGLIO

 Intaglio- is a printmaking technique in which

the image to be printed is cut or etched into a

surface. Ink goes INTO the areas that have been

cut or etched away. The ink is transferred to dampened paper through a press.

LITHOGRAPHY

 Lithography- is a printmaking method in which

the image to be printed is drawn on limestone, zinc, or aluminum with a special grease pencil or

crayon. The ink sits on top of the stone, is

applied with a brayer, and runs through a press.
