8. Relief Techniques Relief printmaking is one of the more basic types and requires a raised inked surface. By removing areas from a material that you don’t want to be inked and inking only raised areas, you can easily transfer the image onto a surface. Relief techniques include: Linocut Woodcut

9. Intaglio Techniques Intaglio is relief printmaking in reverse. Lines and designs are cut into a metal surface like zink or copper before pushing the ink inside these lines. A tool like a burin or sometimes an acid substance, such as with etching, indents the matrix. Once the matrix is wiped clean, it’s placed on a wet piece of paper, where the ink designs are transferred. Some intaglio techniques are: Engraving Drypoint Aquatint

10. Planographic and Other Techniques Planography works on the principle that water and oil don’t mix. A greasy substance, usually tusche, is used to draw a design on a flat surface. Once you add water and ink, only the surface area with oil will absorb the ink, printing the design. Digital printing
