Printmaking: MonoTypes
Monoprinting is a form of printmaking that has lines or images that can only be made once, unlike most printmaking, which allows for multiple originals. Mono is from the Greek language that means one, single, or alone.There are many techniques of mono-printing, in particular the monotype. The exact print created depends on many things such as how much paint you apply and how hard you press your stamp. (Google)
