Define printmaking. What are the two main types of printmaking? Define both types

By use of a piece of paper, a printing plate, or a press, printmaking is a process in where you add ink to a design or image in order to make a copy.

The two most popular forms of printing are Intaglio printmaking, a print where an image is printed from a recessed design either etched or incised onto the surface of a printing plate (like the common stamp), and relief printmaking, a design printed from a raised design on the surface of a block (like making a design out of wax on the driveway and then wetting the pavement to reveal your creation).

The two main types of printmaking are Relief printing and Intaglio printing. Relief printing is done by outlining an image on a surface, and carving along the outline, then the artist applies the raised areas with ink, to be pressed on to a surface. Intaglio is the family of different printing and printmaking techniques in which the image is incised into a surface and the enclosed line or sunken are hold the ink and its the opposite of a relief print.
