| Etchings | Intaglio print: Lines are scraped into a plate or eaten into the plate with acid. Then the plate is inked and the surface wiped clean. Dampened paper is pressed into the lines, picking up the ink. |
| Lithographs | Planographic print: The image is drawn on a plate or stone and then the surface is treated so that the image area accepts ink and the other parts of the plate reject ink. |
| Monotypes | Monotypes and Monoprints: An image is painted on a smooth or treated plate and printed on paper or fabric. Each printing is unique. |
