Printmaking is a general term referring to the various processes used by artists to create works of art on a surface which are then transferred onto specially made high quality papers. The finished work is then printed by hand in limited editions allowing the art buyer to acquire an original work of art at an affordable price. An artist may employ any number of techniques or methods in the creation of an individual print.
