MONOTYPES AND MONOPRINTS JUDY DIMUZIO

Monoprints and monotypes involve different processes. The terms are oftened used as synonyms, or mistaken for each other. A monotype is a single print pulled from a plexiglass or metal plate on which ink has been applied. The image is transferred to paper by hand rubbing or by use of a press. A perfect second impression cannot be made. A monoprint begins with a repeatable image on the plate, such as an etched image on a plate but it is then hand manipulated to form a one of a kind print.
