Paragraph about printmaking.
Printmaking is the process of making artworks by printing, normally on paper. Printmaking normally covers only the process
of creating prints with an element of originality, rather than just being a
photographic reproduction of a painting. Except in the case of monotyping, the process is capable of producing
multiples of the same piece, which is called a 'print'. 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
'impression'. 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 itself to.
