^{Offset monoprinting: making stencil prints using the manual offset presses with an introduction to inking and colour mixing.}
^{Direct monoprinting: a form of tracing where ink is laid down on a surface and paper is placed on top and then drawn on, transferring the ink onto the paper.}
^{Photolithography: exposing film onto photo sensitive plates that are then made ready for printing using the planographic printing process.}
^{Omnicrom foiling: a basic way of applying metallic foil to paper or card, using a laminator-like machine.}

^{Please see glossary of printing terms below:}

^{Monoprinting: is a type of printmaking where the intent is to make unique prints}
^{Offset: where the inked image is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface.}
^{Lithography: is a planographic method of printing based on the fact that oil and water don't mix.}
^{Planographic: printing from a flat surface, as opposed to a raised surface or an incised surface.}

^{Once completed allows student to work during open access.}

^{No experience required. Please wear workshop-appropriate clothing and close-toed shoes.}

]]> 2022-08-19 09:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/printmaking/5e19sqy0pe1o5mmr/wish/2265355148 Induction to the Intaglio printing Room: W306 printmaking https://padlet.com/printmaking/5e19sqy0pe1o5mmr/wish/2265355740 ^{The induction will include:}

^{Drypoint: A physical process of scratching/creating indentation into a cardboard/plastic plate and printing using the etching presses with an introduction to inking and colour mixing.}
^{Etching: A way of creating drawn line on a metal plate that uses a wax ground and acid. Inking is the same in all areas of Intaglio.}
^{Aquatint: A way of creating tonal areas on a metal plate using a fine spray of acrylic polymer resist, stop out and acid. Inking is the same in all areas of Intaglio.}
^{Chine colle: A way of adding spots of colour to your print using coloured tissue paper and adhesive.}

^{Please see glossary of printing terms below:}

^{Intaglio Printing: is a type of printing where a plate that has had ink applied to indentations is pressed into paper.}
^{Ground: A waxy coating that can protect a metal plate from acid. You can scratch/draw into grounds to remove the coating and allow acid to dissolve metal to create deep lines.}
^{Aquatint: an intaglio technique that produces areas of tone rather than lines. It can be used in conjunction with etching for lines and tone. The marks can be more painterly.}
^{Chine colle: is a technique in which a thinner paper is bonded to a heavier support. This could be coloured tissue paper or even a print on a delicate paper.}
^{Polymer resist: is a spray that creates small dots covering a metal plate, protecting it from acid.}
^{Stop Out: is a protective varnish that can prevent acid from reaching the metal plate.}
^{Acid: is a substance with chemical properties that can dissolve metals.}

^{Once completed allows student to work during open access.}

^{No experience required. Please wear workshop-appropriate clothing and close-toed shoes.}

^{Linocut: cutting and printing a block or plate onto paper and instruction on how to set-up and print using the relief presses.}
^{Embossing: cutting a card plate for the purpose of embossing/debossing on paper including instruction on how to use the embossing presses.}
^{Collagraph: how to make and ink a collagraph plate.}
^{The induction will be in part practical with demonstrations and examples of work shown.}

^{Please see glossary of printing terms below:}

^{Relief Printing: is a type of printing where a printing block or plate that has had ink applied to only its surface is pressed into paper.}
^{Linocut: also known as lino is a printmaking technique, similar to woodcut, in which a sheet of lino is cut into. Everything you cut away doesn't get printed, everything you leave, does.}
^{Embossing/debossing: are the processes of creating either raised or recessed relief images and designs on mainly paper. An embossed pattern is raised against the background, while a debossed pattern is sunken into the surface of the paper.}
^{Collagraph: is a printing plate in which different materials are glued and stuck to a rigid substrate like card.}

^{Once completed allows student to work during open access.}

^{No experience required. Please wear workshop-appropriate clothing and close-toed shoes.}

The ink is cured by UV light in the printing process.

You can print onto a wide variety of surfaces including:

Paper
Plastic
Metal
Fabric
Found objects
Book covers

Our UV printer has an adjustable bed so it can be flexible with the thickness of the item you are wanting to print onto. The maximum thickness is 15cm. The maximum bed size is A2.

To use the UV printer you MUST complete a consultation with a technician, as there are many things we will have to check, test and prep before being able to print. You will be working 1-1 with a technician as this is a complicated machine and not a click and collect service 🤠
