A printmaking method in which the image is transferred to paper by forcing ink through a fine mesh in which the areas not meant to print have been blocked by a stencil technique.

A planographic printmaking technique based on the fact that oil and water repel each other. The design to be printed is drawn in greasy crayon or pencil on the printing surface— traditionally a block of fine-grained stone, but today more frequently a plate of zinc or aluminum. The printing surface is dampened, then inked. The oil-based ink adheres to the greasy areas and is repelled by the damp areas.

Printmaking techniques in which the lines or areas that will take the ink are incised into the printing plate, rather than raised above it. Engraving, drypoint, etching, mezzotint, and aquatint are all examples of this method. The printing plate is often made of zinc or copper.

In printmaking, techniques in which portions of a block meant to be printed are raised. Woodcuts and linoleum prints (linocuts) are examples of _________ printing. A rubber stamp is another example of this type of printing.
