The Artform of Printmaking
Printmaking is the form of creating art by technical processes using ink. For those not familiar with printmaking as an art, if you ever tried linoleum in school, than you've tried the simplest of the printmaking processes. Much of the beauty of printmaking comes from the laborious technique and effects that can only be achieved in the traditional arts in these forms.
The four divisions of printmaking:
(1) Relief. Ink sits on the raised surfaces and is transferred to paper. Examples, woodcut, linoleum and colograph printmakers.deviantart.com/art…
(2)Intaglio. Ink sits in surfaces below the surface of the plate. Examples, Etching, engravings, dry point petterpetterpetter.deviantart.…
(3) Planography. Inks sit on a flat surface, by chemical means. Examples, lithographs and monotypes tribs28.deviantart.com/art/Hic…
(4)Serigraphy or silkscreen. Involves screen stencils in which ink passes through the open pores of the screen onto printed area jessiechrist.deviantart.com/ar…
This does not include all printmaking processes, but gives a brief overview.

Competition!
As you can Imagen it would be difficult thing to run a contest in printmaking as most people have limited access to printmaking workshops and materials and most of the work we do is school/college orientated or project based.

This is a very broad term and for the purpose of this competition we would focus on enhancing existing prints with the aid of modern technology. People who do not have access to this technology could use traditional methods of mixed media.
You can use any kind of program to edit your print from MS paint t

July - Featured Medium - Carborundum
Carborundum was originally used by printmakers to grind down lithography stones. It is a fine metal sand which is poured sparingly onto the stone and mixed with water, the stone is then ground using a grinder or another lithography stone until it is smooth and the printmakers arm is very tired. If the stone is not properly ground down there could be scrapes visible in the dark parts of the lithograph, or the previous image that was on the stone may show through.
Carborundum is now used in Colograph prints to create gradients of tone and a sandy texture.
It works because when the carborundu
