The four types of prints are intaglio, relief, planographic, and monoprint.

  1. Intaglio prints are made by cutting into the matrix (printing plate), inking the plate, and wiping it clean so that only the recesses hold ink. Veils of ink intentionally left are referred to as plate tones.
  2. Relief prints are probably the most common and made by cutting into the plate and avoiding the recesses when inking.
  3. Planographic prints are made by use of principles of chemistry to differentiate the printing areas and the design field. This technique is called lithography, the name most commonly associated with this type of printing.
  4. Monoprints are created by drawing with ink on glass and then pressing your paper into the still wet ink. Only one print can be made.
