Printmaking is the process of making artworks by printing, normally on paper. Printmaking normally covers only the process of creating prints that have an element of originality, rather than just being a photographic reproduction of a painting. Except in the case of monotyping, the process is capable of producing multiples of a same piece, which is called a print. Each print produced is not considered a "copy" but rather is considered an "original". This is because typically each print varies to an extent due to variables intrinsic to the printmaking process, and also because the imagery of a print is typically not simply a reproduction of another work but rather is often a unique image designed from the start to be expressed in a particular printmaking technique. A print may be known as an impression. Printmaking (other than monotyping) is not chosen only for its ability to produce multiple impressions, but rather for the unique qualities that each of the printmaking processes lends itself to.

This shows my process for linoleum relief printmaking. I made this video for my gallery show to allow people to understand my tools and process of printmaking. This is a self-portrait
Student artists like David Owens keep alive the tradition of monotype printing -- creating a plate for a one-of-a-kind print, as he demonstrates in this video. Owens and other students in Mary Pierce's "Introduction to Printmaking" class exhibit their work in "Painterly Prints," which runs from Oct. 26 to Nov. 30 at Oswego State Downtown, corner of West First and Bridge streets. The gallery and store hosts a free opening reception from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26. Video by HCI graduate student Phillip Moore.

Etching is a centuries-old creative technique used by the likes of Goya, Rembrandt and, more recently, UK artist Norman Ackroyd. In the printmaking rooms at Middlesex University, technician Freddy Morris takes us through the process of zinc line etching.
Intaglio: The lines of the image are incised, or cut, into a metal plate. This can be done with sharp tools, as in engraving, or with acid, as in etching and aquatint. Ink is applied and forced into the incised areas. Ink remaining on the surface is removed, and the plate is ready for printing.
