Fine Art Printmaking
Fine art prints are original works of art that result from pressing ink into paper under
pressure. The four basic art-printing techniques are: relief (woodcut, linocut), intaglio
(etching, engraving), planographic (lithograph from stone or metal plate, monotypes),
and stencil (screenprint, serigraph). The paper on which the print is made comes in direct
contact with a matrix (woodcut, plate, metal etching plate, litho stone, screen, etc.) that
has been hand-worked by the artist. The matrix can be made by carving, etching,
drawing, or other techniques. Ink is applied to the matrix, and then transferred to the
paper by applying pressure using a press, or by hand. Multiple prints can be made, or
pulled, from the original matrix by repeating the process of inking the matrix and
applying pressure to a fresh piece of paper. The set of prints that are pulled from one
matrix are known as the edition of the print. Because the matrix comes in direct contact
with every print, the number of prints in an edition is limited. For most fine art prints the
entire edition is printed by the artist or by someone directly under the artist’s supervision.
Original prints are traditionally signed and numbered individually in pencil by the artist,
usually on the front of the print.
