Monotype in printmaking is a technique that bears only one unique impression from its prepared plate.

The plate is usually painted or rolled on with ink and the artist can make marks by adding or subtracting from the inked surface. Monoprinting can call for a painterly way of expressing with rich colors and fluid mark making.

Oftentimes artists can choose to lay down textures such as fabric, laces, patterns on the prepared plate that yield a unique impression. Since a monotype can only produce a unique and hand executed, it is not considered as a technique that can make multiple replication. However, because it is printed on paper, the prints are still classed as printed works.
