Printmaking is the process of making artwork s by printing , normally on paper . Except in the case of monotyping , the process is capable of producing multiples of the same piece, which is called a 'print'. Each piece produced is not a copy but considered 'an original' since it is not a reproduction of another work of art and is technically (more correctly) known as an 'impression'.

Painting or drawing , on the other hand by contrast, creates a unique original piece of artwork. Prints are created from a single original surface, known technically as a matrix .
