This soft line is suitable only to small editions because the burr breaks down with repeated printing. A drypoint prints a velvety line owing to the burr raised by the cut. An intaglio method in which a plate is directly incised by a needle. An example is Jim Campbell’s suite of four prints Dynamism of an Automobile (after Luigi Russolo) Dynamism of a Cyclist 2001 (after Umberto Boccioni) Dynamism of a Cow Dynamism of an Observer in the Weeds.ĭirect Gravure A photogravure and a direct gravure are made in the same way but in contrast to the photogravure which uses a photographically generated positive ( Andrea Modica’s folio of landscape photogravures, Florida) the direct gravure uses a hand drawn positive (such as Mimosus soli by Janaina Tschäpe.)ĭrypoint. Prints based on digital imagery, driven by computer and printed by inkjet nozzles. See Neufert Suite by Guillermo Kuitca.ĭigital Inkjet Prints. A planographic process employing the blueprint technique. Brief statement including the printer’s name and other information about production, found at the end of a book or portfolio or on the back of the title page.Ĭyanotype. James Rosenquist collaged monotypes and lithographs together in his large-scale prints The Kabuki Blushes, Crosshatch and Mutation, Flowers and Females, Shriek, and Sister Shrieks.Ĭolophon. Introduced into fine art by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso about 1909. A technique in which cloth, fabric, cut out pieces of paper or other such elements are incorporated into the composition in any of many methods. Jorge and Vik are two prints by Vik Muniz that incorporate chine collé technique.Ĭollage. Originally used for adding color and support to the paper, chine collé is now often used for the varied texture it provides or for the way the different papers absorb ink. A process used for adhering a thin paper of a different color or texture onto a larger, heavier sheet during the printing process, using glue to dampen and coat the papers. Any impression deviating from the BAT is destroyed.Ĭhine collé (French, “Chinese paste”). All further impressions are compared to the BAT for quality. The BAT indicates the artist’s authorization to proceed with the edition it is signed or initialed by the artist. Bon á tirer means “good to pull.” This is the first perfect impression of the work and the one that will be used to judge all other impressions in the edition.
Signed impressions of a quality comparable or equal to the numbered edition, to be retained or distributed at the artist’s discretion.īon á tirer (BAT). For example, any paper used in printmaking, be it for printing, framing, storing or packing, should be archival.Īrtist’s Proofs. Acid-free materials that will remain stable for a very long time. Aquatint is often used in combination with other intaglio techniques, as in Michael Glier’s Men at Home series.Īrchival. Aquatint is the basis for the photogravure process. The acid bites into the plate between the grains of resin and, when printed, the mass of tiny dots produces a textured area rather than a line, tonal effects similar to a watercolor wash. Within the intaglio process, an etching technique in which tone is created by treating the plate with fine particles of acid-resistant material (powdered resin, spray lacquer).

INTAGLIO PRINTING EXAMPLES TRIAL
These include the bon á tirer or BAT, trial proofs, printer’s proofs, artist’s proofs, presentation proofs, hors de commerce (HC), etc. Proofs are generally produced outside of the numbered edition. They are usually numbered using Arabic numbers – 1/20, 2/20, etc.Ī proof is an impression taken at any stage in the making of a print edition. Prints fall into three main categories: intaglio (etching, engraving, drypoint, aquatint, photogravure, photoetching) relief (woodblock, linoleum, heliorelief) and planographic (lithography, serigraphy, pochoir, cyanotype).Īn edition of prints is any set number of impressions (or prints) printed from the same matrix, signed by the artist and numbered and identical to the bon á tirer. A print is produced in numbers, in an edition either small and limited or large and practically unlimited. The print is most usually made on paper, but may be on other surfaces such as cloth, metal, or ceramics.
A print is an image made from a matrix (be it intaglio plate, relief woodblock, lithographic stone, serigraphic silkscreen, or metal plate for offset press, among others) capable of producing a certain quantity of like images.
