An Overview of Monotype Printmaking

Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4

Abstract

Abstract: Monotype printmaking cannot be exactly described as a form of printmaking, nor can it be seen within the practice of painting. It is a creative practice that benefits from the advantages of both. In monotype print engraving, scraping and depressing of the printing surface does not take place. It is separated from other forms of printmaking with the single original print that comes as a result, but with its potential for improvisation and the use of unlimited instruments it approaches to the pictorial field. Monotype and monoprint are often conceptually confused with each other. The monoprint technique, which is similar to the monotype, is separated from the monotype printing technique as it uses combination of various printing works. On the other hand, in the monotypic printing technique, the surface of the plate must be unmodified (unaltered matrix), that is, it needs to be printed from an untouched surface. Keywords: Monotype printing, Monoprint, Painterly printmaking, Single print, Printmaking.
