What is lithography

This engraving technique involves creating brands (or drawings) on an array (limestone) with a greasy pencil. The basis of this technique is the principle of repulsion between water and oil. Unlike other techniques of etching, the lithography is planográfica, namely, the drawing is done via the accumulation of fat on the surface of the matrix and not through grooves and ridges in the array, as in engraving and the engraving ( see technique). His first name was poliautografia meaning the production of multiple copies of original manuscripts and drawings.

What's woodcut:

is Xylography Xilogravura or engraving technique in which wood is used as a template and allows the playback of the recorded image on paper or other suitable support. It is a very similar process with a stamp.

It is a technique that carves the wood, with the help of a cutter, the shape or form (matrix) that you want to print. After this procedure, you use a rubber roller dipped in ink, just touching the high parts of the notch. The final process is embossed printing on special paper or cloth which is impregnated with ink to reveal the figure. Among the variations of the support can be recorded on linoleum (linocut) or any other flat surface. In addition to variations in the technique, such as "top engraving".

What is screen printing:

Screen printing or silk-screen printing is a printing process in which ink is leaked - by pressing a squeegee or a handle - prepared through a screen. The screen (silkscreen Matrix), usually polyester or nylon, is stretched on a frame (frame) of wood, aluminum or aço.1 The "record" screen is through photosensitivity process, where the matrix prepared with a photosensitive emulsion it is placed on a photolithography, which is set matrix + photolithography placed in turn on a table lamp. The dark spots of photolithography correspond to sites that will be cast on the screen, allowing the passage of ink through the mesh structure, and the light spots (where the light will pass through photolithography reaching the emulsion) are sealed by hardening the photosensitive emulsion was exposed to light.

It is used for printing on various types of materials (paper, plastic, rubber, wood, glass, fabric, etc.), surfaces (cylindrical, spherical, irregular, light, dark, opaque, bright, etc.), thicknesses or sizes, with various types of paints or colors. It can be done mechanically (by people) or automatic (machine).

The screen printing is characterized as one of the engraving process, determined planographic picture.
