A metal plate is covered with a waxy 
material ( Drawing surface) which is 
resistant to acid. The artist then 
scratches off the wax with a pointed 
etching needle where he or she 
wants a line to appear in the finished 
piece, (so exposing the bare metal). 
Low Cost Tools 
Low Cost Design Changes 
High precision 
Time consuming 
Types of etching: 
1.Non-plasma based = uses spontaneous 
reaction of appropriate reactive gas mixture. 
2.Plasma based = uses radio frequency (RF) 
power to drive chemical reaction. 
Need for specialized 
(expensive) equipment 
Some gases are quite toxic and corrosive.
The linocuts are 
tough and sturdy. 
The linoleum is then aligned onto the lino presser slider. 
Next a paper is also aligned on to the slider and on top of 
the lino. A sheet is placed over the slider it is sealed with 
the cover. Afterwards, the slider is rolled to the presser 
where the handle is pulled to apply the pressure where 
printing of lino is enabled. 
Lino has smooth 
texture which can 
easily be worked on. 
It is bendy and tough which 
enables it to be handled well 
and can be cut into it easily. 
It is difficult to get into detail 
.e.g. faecal expressions. 
Mistakes are 
irreversible( you would 
have to start again). 
limited colour application( 
not many colours per 
picture), hard to clean/ get off 
your hands. 
After Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse used 
the technique to advantage in the 1950s, 
many other artists adopted linocut art.
Screen printing is a printing 
technique that uses a woven mesh to 
support an ink-blocking stencil to 
receive a desired image. The attached 
stencil forms open areas of mesh that 
transfer ink or other printable 
materials. 
Screen printing is also a 
stencil method of print 
making ( in which a design is 
imposed on a screen of 
polyester or other fine mesh) 
The screen printing 
process allows us to print 
images and text on a 
variety of promotional or 
personal items. 
As no heavy/big machines 
and related tools are used, 
the hand screen printing 
requires a smaller amount of 
space to install. 
Images for screen printing 
have to be simple in 
design which can be 
tricky. (reduced to definite 
lines or shapes that will 
print well). 
Most hand-stencils are very 
fragile and break down 
faster than emulsion-based 
processes. 
The stencils can be 
reused many times, they 
can eventually become 
warped and uneven. 
In hand screen printing 
procedures various colours 
can be used effectively.( this 
could make them look nicer)
Woodcut (occasionally known as 
xylography) is a relief printing 
artistic technique in printmaking 
in which an image is carved into 
the surface of a block of wood, 
with the printing parts remaining 
level with the surface while the 
non-printing parts are removed, 
usually with gouges. Good quality final image. 
Shows that it has taken a lot 
of hard work and 
perseverance to get right. 
Can be very time consuming. 
Wastes a lot of material if 
the design goes wrong. 
If you are writing and 
make a spelling mistake 
there is no going back 
and you will have to start 
again. 
If you can create 
amazing art with the 
woodcut technique you 
could become sort after 
because it is a dying 
trade.
Lithography is a method of 
printing, originally based on 
the principle that oil and 
water do not mix. Printing is 
from a stone (limestone) or a 
metal plate with a smooth 
surface. 
Lithography requires less 
effort than some other 
printing processes such as 
engraving. 
Lithography is also a process 
that is used to create posters 
from an original artwork. 
(lithographic reproduction). 
These reproductions are less 
expensive than an original 
drawing or painting by an 
artist and a larger audience 
can buy and enjoy them. 
Using 
lithography, 
many prints 
can be made 
from the 
same 
drawing. 
The length of time is 
another disadvantage (it 
can be up to 40 hours just 
for the drawing time). 
The amounts of 
lithographic prints 
are limited. 
The supplies are complex 
and highly specialized; even 
with the use of modern 
machines, the process is 
expensive.

Parts to be printed are raised 
up from the base plate. 
Letterpress printing can be 
used to produce both text and 
pictures. 
You can use a large 
variety of paper and 
colours. 
The completed sheets are 
then taken to dry and for 
finishing, depending on 
the variety of printed 
matter being produced. 
Hand presses generally required two people to 
operate them: one to ink the type, the other to work 
the press. (Later mechanized jobbing presses require 
a single operator to feed and remove the paper, as the 
inking and pressing are done automatically.) 
It is easy to create 
copies due to the 
raised pictures or text. 
They are better for formal 
invites or card than a 
normal printer. 
Printed images are likely 
to be unevenly inked. 
Pictures are 
quite costly. 
Time consuming because 
the ink needs time to dry.
Gravure printed products include: 
Food packaging 
Wall paper 
Wrapping paper 
Furniture laminates 
Panelling 
Greeting cards 
Magazines 
With gravure printing an image is etched on the 
surface of a metal plate or cylinder so that the 
image you want to print is in the recesses or 
depressions not the raised part of the plate. The 
recesses are filled with ink and the raised. 
Its main disadvantage 
is the high cost that it 
takes to print. 
The photographic 
quality is clear 
and good. 
The images and text 
can be printed in a 
large range of bright 
colours. 
The process 
takes a long 
time. 
The printing 
quality, while high, 
is not quite as good 
as photogravure or 
rotogravure 
printing. 
The printing leaves a 
clean and detailed 
image every time.
The stencil is attached to the under side of the 
screen. The exact procedure depends on the type 
of stencil used. The material to be printed is 
placed on the base, and the screen is lowered over 
it. A generous quantity of ink is put at the top of 
the pattern, but outside the printing area. 
Is cost-efficient. 
Is no good for 
small orders. 
high quality colour 
matching as well as 
crisp text 
There is a wide range of 
materials you can use that 
include: 
Silk 
Nylon 
lower resolution is not 
well suited for raster 
graphics such as 
photographs. 
a method of printing using a fine 
mesh of silk, nylon, etc, treated 
with an impermeable coating 
except in the areas through which 
ink is subsequently forced onto 
the paper behind. 
high setup costs for 
silk screening.

Most current photocopiers use a technology 
called xerography, a dry process that uses 
electrostatic charges on a light sensitive 
photoreceptor to first attract and then transfer 
toner particles onto paper in the form of an 
image. Heat, pressure or a combination of both 
is then used to fuse the toner onto the paper. 
The first popular photocopier, the Xerox 914, took the 
business world by storm in 1959. If it was released 
today, however, it would never get past health and 
safety. Not only did over-use of the device risk 
overheating, the device would commonly burst into 
flames after one too many copies. 
A photocopier machine is very 
heavy, you won't be able to move it 
around easily. The photocopying 
A lot of copies can 
be made at once. 
The copied that are made are 
very accurate and clear. 
Photocopiers are cheaper to use 
compared to using a printer. 
A photocopier is a big machine, 
so it will take up a lot of space. 
machine itself is very 
expensive.
It very rapidly produces high-quality text 
and graphics by repeatedly passing a laser 
beam back & forth over a charged 
cylindrical drum, to define a charged 
image. The drum then selectively collects 
electrically-charged, toner and transfers 
the image to the loaded paper, which is 
then heated in order to permanently fuse 
the text/imagery. 
As a normal part of the printing process, the high voltages 
inside the printer can produce a corona discharge that 
generates a small amount of ionized oxygen and nitrogen, 
forming ozone and nitrogen oxides. 
Print quality is good. 
The machine is noiseless. 
Printing is slower and therefore 
inkjets aren't designed for high 
volume printing. 
Printing speed is high. 
Running an inkjet printer over 
time is a more expensive than a 
laser printer. 
Prints emerge from the printer slightly 
wet and may need time to dry.
Aqueous ink is sensitive to 
water, even a small drop of 
water can cause blurring. 
Inkjet printing is a type of computer printing 
that creates a digital image by propelling 
droplets of ink onto paper, plastic, or other 
substrates. Inkjet printers are the most 
commonly used type of printer. 
No warm up time needed before use. 
Print head is less durable, 
prone to clogging and damage. 
Capable of printing in vivid 
colour, good for printing pictures. 
Ink bleeding, ink carried sideways causing 
blurred effects on some papers. 
There is a high quality of output, capable 
of printing fine and smooth details. 
Inkjet documents can have poor to 
excellent archival durability, 
depending on the quality of the inks 
and paper used. If low-quality paper is 
used, it can yellow and degrade due to 
residual acid in the untreated pulp, in 
the worst case, old prints can literally 
crumble into dust when handled
Desktop publishing is the creation of documents 
using page layout skills on a personal computer. 
Desktop publishing software can generate layouts 
and produce text and images. This technology 
allows individuals, businesses, and other 
organizations to self-publish a wide range of 
printed matter 
There is more control 
over the way text is 
arranged and formatted. 
It is time consuming to edit together 
a whole leaflet/ document yourself. 
DTP can be used to bring lots of different 
files together on the same document. 
There can be a large 
reduction in creativity. 
Text and pictures can be 
moved and changed so they fit 
he space you have perfectly. 
You have to be quite skilled to 
use DTP (computer/ editing 
knowledge). 
Desktop publishing began in 1983 with a program 
developed by James Bessen at a community 
newspaper in Philadelphia.
