different types of printing - tell a story

• Linocut is a print made by carving the image in to a block of linoleum. The design is cut in to linoleum surface with the help of a sharp tool, with raised parts that are to be printed. The linoleum sheet is inked and it is pressed on a paper to create the engraved image on to the paper.
•  Screen printing is a technique for printing a flat image through a fine mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The areas which you don’t want to be printed are masked out on the screen. The frame which consists of ink is placed over the item and pressed through the screen to create the print.
• Intaglio is the process where the design is carved below the surface of the matrix being used. In this case it is mostly metals such as copper and aluminum being a very resilient metal is a good material to work with in the Intaglio technique. The Intaglio technique involves etching The process involves making an image by making grooves below the surface of the metal. Then the ink is pushed into the grooves of the image that have been made. It is then pushed into a press with a damp paper on it and while it is being pushed the ink gets onto the paper from the grooves.
• Mono printing: Unlike most other printmaking techniques, this process produces unique editions. Artists draw, paint, or otherwise manipulate ink or paint to create a composition on a smooth surface, which is then produced in reverse when applied to a ground support.

I like Lino as the outcome are always very nice also i like the scruffy look from the lino how ever does take long to prepare! and is quite messy, Screenprinting is my favourite technique because i like digitally editing my outcomes ready for screen printing as you can edit your photos in a lot of different ways using photoshop, I don't like intaglio printing because it is such a difficult tasking trying to create a print as sometimes the paper isn't dry and you haven't put enough ink on so is hard creating a print. I do like mono printing how ever I don't think it comes out to a high standard.
