The art of printing has enjoyed increasing popularity in Europe in recent years and has experienced a real boom in various arts and crafts sectors. Each printing method has its own merits and possibilities, and what is particularly fascinating is that this art form is never entirely direct and always contains an element of surprise. This practical introduction now provides the basic knowledge of traditional printing techniques such as monotype, relief printing, gravure printing, screen printing and lithography, but also covers the gap to newer methods such as collage printing. The author shows possible variants of the basic techniques and explains which tools, types of paper and materials are required. You will also find useful information on the safety precautions to be taken with the individual methods. The numerous illustrations — works by beginners as well as artists — illustrate the exciting and different effects that can be achieved with the individual techniques. This is a practical book that will both inspire and encourage anyone interested in making prints themselves.
