Gone Printing

monotype

Monotype is an original and unique print made by drawing or painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface (cooper plate or a sanded plexiglass plate). The image is then transferred onto a sheet of paper by pressing the two together, and running through the press. A second print from the original plate is called a "ghost print".

dry point

Drypoint is an intaglio process, similar to etching, but without the use of acids. In drypoint etching, lines are scratched directly into the plate (metal or plexiglass) and ink is rubbed into the etched crevices of the plate.

linocut

Linocut is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum is used for the relief surface. Ink is rolled onto the raised surfaces of the plate.
