Printing Process
Relief Process:
Step 1: Images are drawn directly onto the block with a lead pencil.
Step 2: A chisel is used to carve all of the spots, removing most of the surface of the block.
Step 3: Ink is put to the surface of the block with a roller.
Step 4: When the block is run through a press, the ink is sent to a sheet of paper.
Step 5: It takes several days for the ink to dry on the drying rack.
Intaglio Process:
Intaglio is the family of printing and printmaking techniques in which the image is transferred into a surface and the transferred line or sunken area holds the ink. It is the direct opposite of a relief print.Step 1: Warm the dry point on a hot plate. This heats the roller.
Step 2: Ink the plate evenly from all directions using a scrap of mount board.
Step 3: Not too much. The plate is now ready to be worked.
Step 4: The plate is ready for print.
Step 5: Place the paper over the plate, then carefully put the 3 print blankets over.
Step 6: All of the ink has been moved from the plate to the paper.
Lithography Process:
Lithography is a method of printing originally based on the power of oil and water. Lithography originally used an image drawn with oil.
