Except in the case of\u00a0 a monotype<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">, the process is capable of producing multiples of the same piece, which is called a &#8216;<em><strong>print&#8217;<\/strong><\/em>. Each piece produced is not a copy but considered an original since it is not a reproduction of another work of art and is technically (more correctly) known as an &#8216;<em><strong>impression&#8217;<\/strong><\/em>. Printmaking (other than monotyping) is not chosen only for its ability to produce multiple copies, but rather for the unique qualities that each of the printmaking processes lends to the finished print.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Prints are created from a single or multiple original surface, known technically as a <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">matrix<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">. Common types of matrices include: plates of metal, usually copper or zinc for <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">engraving<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\"> or <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">etching<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">; stone, used for <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">lithography<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">; blocks of wood for <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">woodcuts<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">, linoleum for <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">linocuts<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\"> and fabric plates for <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">screen-printing<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">. But there are many other kinds of matrix substrates and related processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Works printed from a single plate create an <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">edition<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">, in modern times usually each signed and numbered to form a limited <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">edition<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">. Prints may also be published in book form, as <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">artist&#8217;s books<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">. A single print could be the product of one or multiple techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Once completed these limited edition prints should not be in any way confused with a reproduction, giclee or inkjet print of an artwork produced in another medium. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">(In part attributable to the definition found in Wikipedia) To view print<a title=\"Print Galleries\" href=\"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/category\/galleries\/\"> Galleries <\/a>click.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Original Print is the process of making an artwork by printing, normally onto paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":508,"featured_media":1822,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[24,40,59,72],"class_list":["post-1612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-print","tag-artists-proof","tag-edition","tag-original-prints","tag-printmaking","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/files\/2010\/06\/WOW-sea-II.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/508"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1612"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1612\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3049,"href":"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1612\/revisions\/3049"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musworks.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
