These burrs hold large amounts of ink and provide drypoint lines with their characteristically fuzzy appearance when printed. The drypoint needle sends up rough burrs of metal on either side of the line. The term ‘Giclée’ or ‘pigment print’ is often used to denote digital reproduction prints.Īn intaglio method similar to etching, but the lines are scratched directly onto the plate without the use of a ground (a kind of coating applied to the plate) or acid. Editions are then printed onto paper of a similar surface. The image file for example, can be understood as the printing matrix, equivalent to a woodblock, stone or plate. Despite their different materials, digital printmaking follows the same principles of analogue printing. She is considered by some the first female photographer, as well as the first person to publish a book illustrated by photographs.ĭigital prints describe any print made with current computer technology.
The paper is then washed and dried.įun fact: Cyanotypes were first published by Anna Atkins, an 18th century biologist. It is made by exposing an object or negative on prepared paper to an ultraviolet light source, such as the sun. Also known as a blueprint, the cyanotype was discovered alongside the advent of photography. The cyanotype print is named after the colour it produces - cyan. An example may be a part lithograph, part collage.
The plate is then inked and printed in relief or intaglio on an etching press.Īs its name suggests, a composite print describes any print that combines multiple techniques in a single work. The plate may be composed of collaged materials, or a single texture. The plate is usually built up by gluing a variety of low relief textural materials – essentially anything that would hold ink to a plate.Ĭollagraph plates are typically constructed of wood, cardboard or fabric, although in some cases a base material is not necessary. Think of the chop mark as a kind of stamp of authenticity.Ī printing process by which textured materials are used to create a printable plate. Typically, it identifies the printer or publisher. The chop cark is a small, embossed indentation made in the margin of a print.
It involves adhering a thin sheet of Oriental paper to a thicker backing sheet via the pressure of the printing process. The Chine colle process can be achieved by planographic or intaglio printing. This process sees an artist heavily polish their intaglio plate with a steel or agate burnisher, thus reducing the depth of detail.Ī Catalogue Raisonne is an artist’s complete list of prints with each work’s title, date, edition size and condition.
No margins here.Ī blind emboss is an image, such as a logo, that has been marked on paper without ink. For a less toxic method of achieving tone, artists can spray their plate with enamel paint.Ī term used to denote printmaking materials, such as paper that have a high degree of permanence.Īlso known as etching, biting is when acid is used to incise an image on a metal plate.Ī bleed print is when an image is printed up to the edges of the paper. Fine rosin (a type of resin) dust is sprinkled over a plate and fused to it with heat prior to biting with acid. Separate brushes, cotton buds, pads or a rolled felt dolly is used to apply each colour.Īn intaglio process used to create areas of tone. A la Poupee involves the inking of an intaglio (meaning inscribed) plate with several different colours.
