Describing prints can be a challenge. Identifying the printing process and choosing the right terminology for conditions reports, inventories or catalogues is not always easy.
The artistic and industrial printing techniques undergo a constant development. Modern technology allows a great variety of relief, intaglio, lithography, screen and non-impact prints. Therefore, artistic prints can no longer be limited only to the classical processes.
Artists are using new technical possibilities with interest.
In this course the focus will be on the manual processes. Relief, intaglio, planografic, and screen printing with their numerous subgroups will be presented in detail during lectures.
The special characteristics of each technique will be worked out and their terminology discussed.
