Type of Printing

By: Kenia Diaz

There are many different types of ways to print and in graphic design we wanted to know what the difference where between relief, intaglio, and lithography printing.

Relief Process

The first one we are going to talk about is relief process. In relief printing you use types of different woods and metals as well. To print it would would cut out the negative space to define the lines like the actual drawing.

Intaglio Process

Intaglio printing is the very opposite of relief printing. Unlike relief printing intaglio printing is different because the ink is below the surface of the plate. Many times for the printing surface or the printing space is made of copper, zink, aluminum, magnesium, and sometimes plastic. 

Lithography Process 

Lithography printing was originally based on the immiscibility of oil and water. Printing originally began with stones and then later evolved into metal plates and smoother surfaces.
