Print Technique Definition Advantage Disadvantage
Hand: Etching Is when someone cuts
into marble, stone to
create art.
To create a piece of art
that looks really good.
It takes a long time to engrave to create a good piece of art work.
Hand: Linocut Print making. it dose not tend to split
so its easier to add
effects to their work.
Its very time
consuming and hard to
work with.
Hand: Screen print Ink printing. Its not very time
consuming.
You could run out of
ink and its very messy.
Hand: Wioodcut Engraving into wood. It is used for maps,
illustrations and
printing patterns onto
textiles.
It takes up a lot of time
and doesn't always go
how you want it to.
Hand: Lithography Were a image is printed on a smooth surface.
It looks nice and very artistic.
The ink is messy and it could take a wile to dry.
Mechanical: letterpress It allows you to create
lots of the same image
or print using ink.
High speed printing and allows to make more of the same image.
The ink could mess up and destroy your work.
Mechanical: To create the same images again and again.
It is fast and efficient. The metal rolls are very expensive to make.
Mechanical: screen
process

It’s a fast way to make images.
The ink could go all over your work.
Digital: photocopying Making copy's of media documents.
Its cheep. Could blur the picture.
Digital: laser printing A printer that uses focused beams to print.
Good quality printing. If the beam breaks it could cost a lot of money to replace.
Etching
Linocut
Hand etching is a technique
where by the user etches (Cuts)
into something such as Marble of
Granite in order to create artistic
pictures.
This is a technique used for print
making. The technique is done by
cutting into the linoleum surface
with a sharp knife and engraving
the desired texture or picture on the
linoleum surface.
Screen print
Woodcut
Screen printing is a technique where an
ink-blocking stencil is printed onto a woven
mesh. The attached stencil forms open
areas of mesh where ink or other printable
materials can be pressed through the
mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a
substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved
across the screen stencil, forcing or
pumping ink past the threads of the woven
mesh in the open areas.
Originally wood was only available cut
along the grain or cut across it. The plank
wood cut along the grain has hard and soft
areas related to the growth of the tree.
Cutting tools, knives, motorised power
tools can be used to cut a design into a flat
block of material leaving the image as a
raised surface.
Lithography
letterpress
Lithography is a form of printing
where by an image is printed out onto
a smooth stone surface. This method
is normally used in order to print
either text or artwork onto suitable
surfaces such as paper.
Letterpress is a
printing technique
where by a type high
bed is used to press
a reversed inked
surface onto a series
of sheets of paper.
This technique allows
one to make many
copies of one image
or text and also
obtain a quality of
high standard copies.
Mechanical
The device applies pressure to a print that
rests on an inked surface made of movable
type, and then it makes a shape and that Is
your picture.
Digital photocopying
Digital laser printing
Photocopying is a form of making multiple
copies of media documents and other visual
images quickly and cheaply. They use a
technology called xerography which is a dry
process using heat. The process starts with the
cylindrical drum inside the copier being charged
by a high voltage which makes it negatively
charged. A bright lamp illuminates the original
document, and the white areas of the original
document reflect the light onto the surface of
the drum.
an image is sent directly to the printer
using digital files such as PDFs and
those from graphics software such as
Illustrator and InDesign. This
eliminates the need for a printing plate,
which is used in offset printing, which
can save money and time.
