Relief printing is a technique where a design is carved into a flat surface, leaving the raised areas to be inked and transferred onto paper, creating a raised image.

Intaglio printing involves carving a design into a metal plate, inking the recessed areas, and then wiping the surface to remove the ink from the raised areas, resulting in a printed image with recessed lines.

Planographic printing, also known as lithography, involves creating an image on a flat surface using grease and water, then inking the surface to transfer the image onto paper, resulting in a flat, non-relief image.

Serigraphy, or screen printing, involves creating a stencil on a screen, applying ink to the screen, and then forcing the ink through the stencil onto paper, resulting in a printed image.

Monotype is a printmaking technique where a unique image is created by painting or drawing directly onto a metal plate, and then transferring the image onto paper, resulting in a one-of-a-kind print.

Woodcut is a relief printing technique where a design is carved into a wooden block, inked, and then pressed onto paper, transferring the image from the raised areas of the block.

Linocut is a relief printing technique similar to woodcut, but it uses a linoleum block instead of a wooden block. The design is carved into the linoleum, inked, and then pressed onto paper, transferring the image from the raised areas of the block.

Etching is an intaglio printing technique where a metal plate is coated with a waxy ground, the design is scratched into the ground, and then the plate is immersed in acid, which etches the exposed areas of the metal. The plate is then inked, and the ink is transferred onto paper, resulting in a printed image with recessed lines.

Engraving is an intaglio printing technique where a design is created on a metal plate using a sharp tool, such as a burin, to cut grooves into the surface. The plate is then inked, and the ink is transferred onto paper, resulting in a printed image with recessed lines.

Lithography is a planographic printing technique where a design is created on a stone or metal plate using a greasy crayon or tusche. The plate is then treated with chemicals to create a receptive surface for ink, and the ink is transferred onto paper, resulting in a printed image with flat, non-relief areas.

Serigraphy, also known as screen printing, is a stencil printing technique where a design is created on a screen using a stencil or photo emulsion. Ink is then forced through the stencil onto paper, resulting in a printed image with flat, non-relief areas.

Monotype is a unique printmaking technique where a single inked plate is used to create a one-of-a-kind print. The image is created by painting or drawing directly onto the plate, and then transferring the image onto paper using a printing press or by hand.

Photogravure is an intaglio printing technique where a design is created on a metal plate using a photo-sensitive emulsion. The plate is then exposed to light, which hardens the emulsion in the exposed areas. The plate is then etched with acid, which etches the exposed areas of the metal. The plate is then inked, and the ink is transferred onto paper, resulting in a printed image with recessed lines.

Collagraph is a printmaking technique where a design is created on a printing plate by adhering various materials, such as fabric, paper, or found objects, to the plate. The plate is then inked, and the ink is transferred onto paper, resulting in a printed image with a textured or collaged appearance.

Laser engraving is a printmaking technique where a design is created on a metal plate using a laser or CNC machine. The laser or CNC machine engraves the design into the plate, and the exposed areas are then etched with acid. The plate is then inked, and the ink is transferred onto paper, resulting in a printed image with recessed lines.
