Chemically Sharpened
4 Favorite Printmaking Methods
Printmaking is actually a process for producing a masterwork in ink; the work called a print is made indirectly, through the transfer of ink from the surface where the work was initially sketched or prepared. Performing this printmaking can be achieved in the following techniques. The most popular will be the woodcut, etching, lithography, and screen-printing. Other printmaking techniques include chine-collé, collography, monotyping, engraving, drypoint, mezzotint, linocut, aquatint and batik. These techniques can also be merged.
Woodcut is a type of relief print considered to be the earliest printmaking method, dating back to 9th century China. The artist draws a drawing on a plank of timber and then makes use of sharpened instruments to be able to carve away the parts of the chunk which he/she would not want to have the ink. The raised portions of the block are inked with a brayer and after that a piece of paper, possibly slightly damp, is placed above the block. The block will then be rubbed with a baren or spoon, or is run through the press.
Etching prints are usually linear and frequently contain details as well as contours. Traces can differ from sleek to sketchy. A waxy acid-resist, referred to as a ground, is placed on a metal plate. Right after the ground has dried, the artisan uses a sharpened tool to scrape into the ground, revealing the metal. The plate will then be entirely submerged in an acid which eats away at the totally exposed steel. This process is known as biting. The waxy resist protects the acid from biting the areas of the plate which have not been scratched into. The more time the plate continues to be in the acid solution, the deeper the incisions become. The plate will be taken out from the acid and the ground will be extracted with a solvent such as turpentine. The entire plate is inked. A wad of cloth is usually used to press the ink into the incised lines. The surface is wiped clean with a piece of stiff cloth referred to as tarlatan or newsprint paper. The cleaning actually leaves ink merely in the incisions. A moist sheet of paper is positioned above the plate and it is run through the press.
Lithography is actually a printing technology created a method of imaging limestone from which a print was made. Based on the basic principle that oil and water do not blend, an aluminum or plastic plate is coated with a photopolymer film which is exposed to light by using a photographic mask. The uncovered sections are chemically “hardened,” and the unexposed areas are dissolved when the plate is subjected to a chemical process. When printing a page, the plate is wet, and the water sticks only to the unexposed, non-image parts, which repell the oily ink that is used on the plate instantly afterwards.
Screen printing, also referred to as “silk-screening” produces bold color using a stencil method. The artisan draws an image on a sheet of paper or plastic film can also be made use of. The image is cut out creating a stencil. A screen is made from a piece of fabric stretched over a wood frame. The stencil is attached to the screen. The screen will then be placed on top of a piece of dry paper or cloth. Ink is then placed across the top length of the screen. A squeegee (rubber blade) will be used to be able to spread the ink across the screen, over the stencil, and onto the paper/fabric. The screen is lifted and the graphic is transferred onto the paper/fabric. Every color requires a separate stencil. The screen can be re-used right after washing.
Printmaking is definitely a wide medium in art and could be learned nearly anywhere, in art classes or from printmaking artists. Once you know the basics, you will discover there are numerous techniques to create a really great print.
