Monotype Printing

This lesson is about monotype printmaking. Monotypes are a unique type of printmaking, in which reprinting is possible however there is only one acceptable printing, that is the first one. Paint or ink is applied to a smooth surface such as acrylic sheet or glass, and then through a printing press, the image is pressed to a sheet of paper. Most of the paint or ink is removed during the first pressing, so prints after the first are considered "ghost prints".

We shall discuss different aspects of this technique in this lesson.
