1. The artist alone must create the master image on the
stone, or whatever material would be used to make the print.
2. The print - if not printed by the artist - should be hand printed by
someone under the artist's direct supervision.
3. Each impression should be approved and signed by the artist (but this
doesn't happen always) and the
master image (the matrix) destroyed or cancelled.
The original print is not a copy of anything else, not a copy of a
painting or another print. If an artist chooses to copy his own work, originally done in another medium, it would be a print done
after an oil (or other medium). An original print is a creative endeavour by the artist and therefore is as valid an
expression as is any other form of visual art - may it
be a painting or a sculpture. The original print is a work of art in
it's own right.
Types of Prints:
I. Intaglio
Since the beginning of history, men scratched and
incised lines into stone, skin or bark. The technique was continued by
Greek designers and by the Etruscans and Romans. It was brought to great
refinement by the artisan-engraver, and that of the artist, collaborating
to produce a multiple image: the print.
There were in the beginning of the 16th century some artists who
felt that the woodcut was coarse and primitive. We do not know who first
thought of the idea of rubbing ink into the lines and coaxing it out by
pressing a dampened sheet of paper against the metal surface.
The areas to be printed are incised by cutting, scratching, or etching
below the printing surface to hold ink in the now recessed areas. The
paper is placed on top of the plate and together they are pulled through
the press. The pressure required to pick up the ink leaves a visible plate
mark within the margin of the sheet of paper. The paper receives the ink
from the incised lines and not from the surface of the plate. The ink is
pressed into the lines with a pad called a "dabber". Any left on
the surfaced is removed by wiping muslin across the plate and the process
is usually complete with the palm of the hand.
The paper is dampened and passed through a press on a board that slides
between one or two rollers. The pressure must be strong enough to force
the damp paper into the lines and lift the ink out onto the paper.
Considerable varieties of effect can be obtained by wiping so as to leave
a film of ink on the surface of the plate.
An Intaglio print can be normally recognised by the plate mark and by the
fact that the ink stands up from the paper in a very slight relief, which
can be often detected by touch.
1. Engraving
In line engraving a plate, copper or steel, is used and
into the highly polished surface of this copper the design is cut with a
tool known as the graver or burin. A burin is a prism-shaped bar of steel
with a sharp point, and a wooden handle which rests in the engravers hand,
the direction of motion is a push applied by his palm and directed by the
thumb and forefinger, which rest on each side of the graver towards the
point. The engraver pushes the burin on the face of the metal producing a
furrow, dislodging a thin strip of metal as cleanly as possible, a rough
lip or "bur" is produced on the edges of the cut. With a
properly sharpened burin a skilled engraver should produce very little
"bur".
When the whole design has been incised on the metal in this manner, the
plate is inked and then wiped. The ink fills the channel cut by the graver
and the plate is passed through a printing press having a damp sheet of
paper pressed into the cut lines, which transfers the ink from the plate
on the surface of the paper. All engraving is in reverse, that is to say,
all objects cut on the metal face are the reverse way they face when
printed. The type of line incised varies to the impression the artist
desires. Broad lines make for coarseness while a fine impression results
from narrow lines. Variation of depth is also possible. Sometimes lines
can cross and this is called cross-hatching. The skilful use of dots and
dashes heighten the general effect.
As the graver is pushed forward away from the engraver and not held in the
natural way as in a pencil or pen, the method is far less spontaneous than
etching. The burin cannot attempt any sudden impulse of the artist. In
past centuries it was not unknown for an engraver to work five years on
one plate.
Steel engravings replaced copper in the main, after 1820. The rate of
deterioration of steel plates is much less rapid than copper and many more
impressions can be made. Copper plates produce finer work.
2. Dry point
The image is drawn onto the plate with a steel needle without
the use of any acid. The
incising leaves a ridge called a "burr", much like a plough leaves
furrows of dirt to either side as it cuts through the ground. When the
plate is printed, the burr holds some ink, and
produces a soft velvety line, characteristic of the dry point. The burr is removed with
a scraper when dry-point is used in conjunction with "bitten-in"
work
3. Etching
A true "artists" print, where the artist actually
produces the print, whereas with most printing processes a professional
has to produce the print working from the artists designs. An etching requires a highly polished metal plate, usually copper.
The plate is coated with an acid-resistant ground
(wax), the artist then draws the design directly into the wax using a
sharp instrument known as an etching needle. The idea is to expose the
metal along the lines he draws. The plate is dropped into a bowl of acid, which eats into the exposed
metal. When the design is complete the plate is inked and then the surface is
wiped with a cloth, this cleans the plate only leaving ink lodged in the
lines that have been etched into the surface of the plate. A sheet of damp paper is pressed upon the plate and a print results.
Early copper plates were forged and flattened by the battery hammer
process. These were then polished by an assistant with grind stone,
pumice, oil stone, sallow-wood charcoal and steel burnisher. By the end of the 18th century the plate was flattened by steam-driven
rollers.
Under a magnifying glass the lines appear blunt ended, compared with the
burin engraving.
Although copper plate is traditional, steel was used in the 20th century.
Occasionally zinc or brass was used.
4. Vernis mou (=Soft Ground Etching)
The artist prepares the plate in much the same way as an
etching, using a different kind of ground. This ground allows the artist, after laying a piece of paper on top, to draw the image with a
pencil. The coating under the pressure of the pencil adheres to the paper which is then lifted off, exposing the copper
underneath. The plate is then bitten in the same way as an etching. This method became popular from the late 18th century. Basically
the process is the same as hard-line etching. The plate was covered with a
ground which the etcher removed with his tool strokes. This allowed the
acid to bite or hollow out the copper in lines that would hold the ink and
print it upon the paper.
But the ground itself was given a softer consistency by adding some form
of grease, such as tallow. This meant that instead of the hard
needle-point the etcher could make his lines through it with a pencil or
similar.
The usual method was to lay a sheet of thin paper over the ground and
apply the pencil over this. Each stroke caused a line of the ground to
attach itself to the paper. When the drawing was complete and the paper
lifted, the ground revealed its copper in corresponding detail but in
soft-edged, fluent lines for the acid to bite.
5. Mezzotint
The plate surface is pitted with a tool called a raker. The
plate is eventually covered with thousands of tiny "pits" which
hold ink and would print a deep velvety black if not further worked. The artist
then scrapes and burnishes areas of the plate he wishes to print less darkly, so the effect is of tone rather than line.
The artist essentially draws the light into the image. It is the best
method for expressing tone and texture in monochrome. The copper mezzotint
block yielded only a few superb prints, no more than fifty and perhaps
another fifty of lesser quality. The engraver was aware that the quality
depended entirely on the quality of each contributory factor - copper, ink
and paper. From the 17th-19th centuries mezzotint was known as ''la
manière anglaise''.
In a mezzotint one is impressed first by the depth and intensity of the
shadow that serves as a foil to the delicate detail of burnished
brightness. Areas of part shadow show a limitless range of grey tones and
the darkest areas a velvety blackness.
It involved a difficult technique. It depended like dry-point, that the
engraver's burin, cutting lines into his copper plate, threw up a fragment
of metal burr to the side of every cut. When not removed this burr readily
absorbs the ink and would print a massy blackness. The different tones
presenting every detail of the pure mezzotint were printed entirely by
such burrs, modified by the engraver.
The surface had to be worked over in different direction, producing
thousands of crossing lines of dots, each with its accompanying raised
burr. The grain was coarse or fine according to the closeness of the
tool's serration - from about 50 to 200 on a two inch blade.
The first professional master engraver in mezzotint in England was Abraham
Blooteling, who arrived from Amsterdam in 1672 and the first English
professional was William Sherwin. Blooteling's mezzotint portraits were
after the fashionable artist Sir Peter Lely.
The great mezzotint period began around 1750. By then the technique was
fully established. Both the copper plate and ink were of a quality to suit
such delicate work, although the fine paper still had to be imported.
A mezzotint is easy to recognise because of the distinctive manner in
which the design emerges from the black background
6. Aquatint
This technique is used to create tone and texture in a
print. The plate is sprinkled with a powdered resin, heated so the resin melts and clings, then given an acid bath to bit the areas not covered by
the resin, creating a porous ground. Aquatint is rarely employed by itself, but rather in combination with other intaglio
methods.
Aquatint is in fact a monochrome process and consists of etching rather than
engraving. Acid, aqua Fortis, not hard tools, creates hollows in the metal
plate. It is only less texturally rich than the mezzotint and it suggests
a far greater extent a freedom of tone akin to the limpid brushwork of
water colour.
Aquatint is a complicated process and involves dissolving resin in spirits
of wine and pouring the liquid over a highly polished copper plate. The
plate is warmed and the spirit evaporates, leaving a granulated surface on
the plate, known as the ground. Usually the outline of the subject is
etched onto the plate, before ground is applied and the etched lines
filled with ink. Sometime the subject was traced or drawn onto the plate.
When it is ready the plate is exposed to acid which bites around the resin
granules. As each required tone is reached, the plate is withdrawn and the
area of tone covered with a stepping-out varnish. This continues until the
darkest tones are obtained, possibly eight or twelve "bites"
being required.
Aquatints could be printed uncoloured or in one or two coloured inks,
olive, brown, green or red were used in England. Coloured aquatints were
finished by hand and the best examples are difficult to distinguish from
water colour. The main disadvantage of the coloured aquatint was the cost
of production, long print runs were impractical and it almost ceased to be
used in England by the mid-nineteenth century.
In an aquatint one is aware of a surface grain of varying depth and
opacity covering almost every part of the print. This may be coarse or
fine but is usually consistent texture. It is never a smooth blur but
appears as lighter and darker areas of speckled powdery tone rather than
the engraver's multitudinous individual lines. A magnifying glass makes
this clear.
In contrast to the mezzotint, the aquatint was worked from light tones
into ever increasing darkness. The shadows never acquired the intense
velvet texture of the mezzotint but the light has a limpid brilliance.
II. Relief
1. The Woodcut
The technique for making woodcuts by the relief process was
discovered by the Chinese. It is the oldest form of printmaking, and appeared in about a millennium before the first prints ever
appeared in Europe. Most artists in the 13th and 14th century who made
woodcuts remain anonymous. The first major artist to use the medium was
Albrecht Dürer, who in 1498 executed the large passion with German and Latin text.
The principal of the woodcut is similar to the workings of a rubber stamp.
The artist cuts away the portion of those areas on the woodblock which he does not want to print leaving raised (or in
relief) the images that is to be printed.
In this method a design is drawn onto a piece of wood and then the design
is cut away using a tool such as a chisel, gouge or knife, leaving the
part to be inked in relief. Then the ink is applied to the surface and the
block is then wiped. After this, a piece of paper is put on top of the
block and pressure is applied by means of using a press or a burnisher to
make the design transfer to the paper.
Wood Engraving: this process is a variation of the woodblock
process in which a cross section of a block of wood and other engraving
tools are used instead of a knife. In this methodology a much more
textured design and finer detail is produced and the print is printed in
the same way. The print is made, first, by engraving the design or picture
to be printed into the mirror-smooth surface of a block of end-grain wood.
Boxwood is best. Secondly, the block is rolled up with ink (on its top
surface) and printed onto paper. The cuts that were made into the wood
therefore come out as white; the remaining top surface which gets inked,
as black; the artist is, in effect, drawing with light - with a white
mark, as opposed to the black mark that comes from a pencil, brush or pen.
Because the tools used are finely pointed, most wood engravings tend to be
closely worked and relatively small, at least compared to more obviously
expansive print-making methods. Because their finesse produces a
particularly rich tonal range, wood engravings are usually, but by no
means exclusively, black and white. Wood engravings are original prints. It is part of the nature of the
medium that many prints can be taken from the block once it is engraved.
They are made by the process, not copied. Artists’ prints are usually
produced in limited editions. This is expressed in the ‘fraction’
written on the print itself: 10/75, for example, indicating the tenth
impression in an edition of seventy-five.
Wood engraving is also used in the illustration of books, both in
commercial publishing and in Fine Press publications; books produced in
limited editions to the highest standards, as works of art in themselves,
and often printed with traditional hot metal type.
The wood engraved block can be set alongside the type in this sort of
printing, so that the illustrations are all original prints, printed
direct from the wood block. (In most commercial publishing, illustrations
are photographic and laser-scanned reproductions).
2. Linoleum Cut
This method is done in much the same way as the woodcut,
except a linoleum block is used. (The most important Linoleum Cuts were executed by Picasso, who invented a new "reduction"
method.)
III. Plano graphic Methods:
1. Lithograph
The artist draws the image directly on a highly polished
limestone using a grease based crayon, or grease based liquid called tusche, similar to a paint. The stone is then prepared for printing by
applying a chemical solution of gum Arabic and nitric acid to make it more receptive to water. In order to make the
print, the stone is dampened with water, which will not adhere to the image drawn because of the natural antipathy of grease
to water. When ink is rolled over the stone, it will only adhere to the grease based image. Then the paper is pressed against
the stone, and only the ink on the greasy image is transferred. In 1840 the
Litho tint process was patented; in this a second
stone , known as a tint stone, was used so that effect of a wash drawing
could be obtained, the tint was usually buff or grey. Intermediate tints
could be obtained by scraping away. The create a colour lithograph, a
separate stone for each
colour is used and must be printed separately. The stone used is limestone,
originally from Bavaria but later from Bath in England. Gericault and
Delacroix all adapted this medium in its early days.
