Different Types of Printing Processes

Relief Process


Image result for relief process printingThe Relief Process is a way you can transfer images by using hand using a small barren. You have to place a thin paper on the wood with the art and apply a little pressure to get your art transferred. People use this type of printing process because it provides a nice grain texture on the black areas. The grain effect allows the painting to not look flat and that gives an artist an advantage. When making cuts on the wood, you often use different sets of wood carvers to get a variety of marks, width, and depths. Then, when you are making the art, you can choose while lines, which is removing the wood, or black lines, which is keeping it. This gives the art a 3D look to the art. Linoleum printing is a type of relief printing that gives it more of a flat look. Linoleum printing has the exact same approach except you remove material from a thick paper not a wood block

1) First, you start by toning your wood block with an Indian ink wash or a wash of jet black film ink

2) The drawing gets transferred by using the aid of an iron oxide or carbon paper transfer

3) The artist chooses to either use white or black line composition

4) Roll ink over the block

5) Place the paper over the ink and apply pressure using the small barren

6) Take off the paper slowly

Intaglio Process


Intaglio process is used when you want the print to look below flat surface. There are several types of Intaglio. One of them is dry paint, where they scratch the material off the plate, and then makes this furry line when ink is added. Artist like this method because it utilizes metal to make that below flat surface.

1) Prepare the plate by washing it off

2) Apply hard ground with the plate, which is typically made from asphalt, wax, and rosin

3) Heat the hard ground by turning it upside down and using a lighter to heat it up

4) Scratch the ground so the copper is revealed

5) Etch the plate so all the copper parts are eaten away, you do that by putting the plate in a bath of acid for 15 minutes, take it out, then put it back in for 15 more minutes.

6) Wipe the plate with ink

7) Put a lightly damp paper of top and then use a rolling machine to finally print it

Lithography Process


Lithography process is basely relied off of grease and water resisting each other. You draw on the stone, and uses a bunch of chemicals and grease to print it on the paper.

1) You draw directly on the stone using specific crayons and pencils

2) You apply gum arabic to the stone, then after that apply TAPEN

3) You with wash the material out with lithotine

4) Wet the stone with a wet towel then a dry towel

6) Sponge the stone then immediately apply ink.

7) Use pressure to push ink into the stone, but some of the ink will go on the paper

8) Use a dampened paper to get the full picture printed

Summery


If I was to try one of these printing processes I would try the relief process. I feel like it would be cool to try to carve out wood to make your picture not look flat. That's something I have never tried and I feel like it would be cool to try. All of these printing processes have a style of depth, and I feel that's really important to have in your art. That's how I feel the printing processes have effected contemporary artist.

Graphic Design Final Blog Post My Favorite Projects My favorite project to do was the vector illustrated project. What we had to do was trace over a choice of a family member using the pen tool, and shade in spots of the picture. In the end, we made a simple version of the picture you chose. The picture I chose was a picture of my dog. This project took me about 3-4 weeks to complete. The main challenge I faced was tracing over the darker/lighter parts of my dogs, and making those parts the correct color. The main skill I learned during the project was accurately tracing over pictures. Throughout the whole project, I always thought I was done, but someone would always tell me that there could be more shading. Others peoples advice telling me to do more shading motivated me to do extra shading, which would make it look less cartoonish. At the very beginning, I was going to do a picture of myself, but I decided to go with my dog instead, which I thought was a good change I made. T...

Music Video Blog The Music We chose and the Theme We Portrayed The music we chose was From Your Mouth from God Lives Underwater. The theme I wanted to Portray was serious but yet cool because he was serious through the whole video but he was eating in reverse and it looked like he was pulling the food from your mouth. The Process The first thing we did is we researched different music videos, and chose one that is clean and we could realistically do. Then, after that, we filled out our story board so we knew what the actor should do and how quickly he should do it. Then, we made a shopping list of all the food we needed. Then, we met at Johns house and me and drew filmed him eating. Finally, Ethan edited but we all helped him. My Role The main role I did was planning out what he should eat, and how quickly he should do it. Technically The main thing we learned is how to edit in reverse. Professionally The main thing we learned is teamwork. We had to find ...

Movie Trailer Blogger

The project we did was recreating a movie trailer. Our group chose "Napoleon Dynamite". Process In preproduction, we worked on looking at all the clips, drawing them out, and putting what time that happens. We also put all of the lines our actors had to say. During production, we filmed all of our clips, including going to places like the lockers, my house, and Woodland Elementary. During Post production, we entered in the slides, the music, and put the clips in order. What I Learned I didn't learn as much of technology things like hardware snd software. I learned mostly acting and teamwork, as I was our main actor and I acted in a couple other videos. It was hard, and you had to cooperate well, but it was fun. What I Would Do Differently/Same One thing I would do differently is filming earlier so we didn't cram editing at the end. One thing I would do the same is our clips were good, and that was probably because we worked hard on pre production. What Ex...
