- | '''Printmaking''' is the [[process]] of making artworks by [[printing]], normally on [[paper]].

Common types of matrices include: plates of metal, usually copper or zinc for [[engraving]] or [[etching]]; stone, used for [[lithography]]; blocks of wood for [[woodcut]]s and linoleum for [[Linocut|linocut]]s. But there are many other kinds, discussed below. Each print is considered an original work of art, not a copy. Works printed from a single plate create an [[edition]], in modern times usually each signed and numbered to form a limited [[edition]]. Prints may also be published in book form, as [[Artists' Books]]. A single print could be the product of one or multiple techniques.{{GFDL}} | + | :''[[old master print]], [[print culture]]'' |

Printmaking is the process of making artworks by printing, normally on paper. The process is capable of producing multiple copies of the same piece, which is called a print. Each copy is known as an impression. Painting or drawing, on the other hand, create a unique original piece of artwork. Prints are created from a single original surface, known technically as a matrix.
Each print is considered an original work of art, not a copy. Works printed from a single plate create an edition, in modern times usually each signed and numbered to form a limited edition. Prints may also be published in book form, as artists' books. A single print could be the product of one or multiple techniques.
Role in the history of the visual culture: democratic means of distribution.
