Which printing technique involves transferring ink from a metal plate to paper using pressure?

  1. Intaglio

  2. Lithography

  3. Screen Printing

  4. Digital Printing


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Intaglio printing is a technique where ink is transferred from a metal plate to paper using pressure. The metal plate is engraved with the desired design, and ink is applied to the plate. The paper is then pressed against the plate, transferring the ink to the paper.

What is the process of creating an image on a metal plate using light-sensitive chemicals called?

  1. Photogravure

  2. Cyanotype

  3. Gelatin Silver Printing

  4. Gum Bichromate Printing


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Photogravure is the process of creating an image on a metal plate using light-sensitive chemicals. A negative is placed on the metal plate, and light is shone through the negative onto the plate. The light-sensitive chemicals react to the light, creating an image on the plate.

Which printing technique involves using a stencil to transfer ink onto paper?

  1. Screen Printing

  2. Lithography

  3. Intaglio

  4. Digital Printing


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Screen printing is a technique where ink is transferred onto paper using a stencil. The stencil is created by blocking out areas of a screen with a light-sensitive material. Ink is then applied to the screen, and a squeegee is used to force the ink through the open areas of the stencil onto the paper.

What is the process of creating an image on a printing plate using a light-sensitive coating and exposing it to light called?

  1. Photopolymer Gravure

  2. Photogravure

  3. Cyanotype

  4. Gum Bichromate Printing


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Photopolymer Gravure is the process of creating an image on a printing plate using a light-sensitive coating and exposing it to light. A negative is placed on the printing plate, and light is shone through the negative onto the plate. The light-sensitive coating reacts to the light, creating an image on the plate.

Which printing technique involves using a gelatin-coated paper to create an image?

  1. Cyanotype

  2. Gum Bichromate Printing

  3. Gelatin Silver Printing

  4. Photogravure


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Gelatin Silver Printing is a technique where a gelatin-coated paper is used to create an image. A negative is placed on the paper, and light is shone through the negative onto the paper. The light-sensitive gelatin reacts to the light, creating an image on the paper.
