	Printmaking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Printmaking is a process for producing editions (mutliple copies) of artwork; painting, on the other hand, is a process for producing a single original piece of artwork.
		Often colour in printmaking that involves etching, screenprinting, woodcut or linocut is applied by either using separate plates, blocks or screens or by using a reductionist approach.
		Other printmaking techniques include chine-collé, collography, monotyping, engraving, drypoint, mezzotint, linocut, aquatint and batik.Monotyping is not a printmaking technique in strict sense so it does not produce a matrix in which multiple artworks can be produced; it is more a printed painting than a proof of print.

	Art2u: Keith Howard's Nontoxic Printmaking
		Beyond just regarding non-toxic printmaking as a safer alternative to traditional processes, it should be regarded as a new printmaking discipline as it allows printmakers far more creative diversity and flexibility than most traditional forms of printmaking.
		Printmakers have been severely criticized for lack of content due to the exorbitant amount of labor put into an image at the expense of "seeing" the image.
		Those "Mad Hatters" of printmaking who cling to the old toxic ways are in fact not only contributing to the demise of printmaking, but also to their personal well-being along with the well-being of their students.

		In the mutliple plate approach to colour there may be a number of plates, screens or blocks produced, each providing a different aspect of the print picture as a whole.
		This process is called aquatint, and allows for the creation of tones, shadows, and solid areas of color.
		When the plate is taken out of the cabinet often rosin powder is still floating down and comes out into the area where the printmaker is. Rosin is a serious health hazard and especially to printmakers in the past who used to just hold their breath within an aquatinting room.
