Possibly the best and most comprehensive textbook on printmaking available today. – Professor Andrew Kulman, Birmingham City University
Printmaking is a practical and comprehensive guide to printmaking techniques.
This fully updated edition includes expanded chapters on digital and mixed media processes, and a brand new ‘Print & Make’ chapter, which explores the opportunities for creative expression within the many processes available to print makers. The more traditional techniques of relief, intaglio, collograph, lithography, screen printing and monoprint have also been refreshed with the addition of new images showing a broader range of subject matter, including more contemporary prints and international artists.
Each technique is explored from the development of the printing or digital matrix, through the different stages of creation to image output. Guidance on how to set up a print studio, sections on troubleshooting techniques and the inclusion of up-to-date lists of suppliers, workshops and galleries make this an essential volume for beginner and experienced printmakers alike.

This is one of the most comprehensive print workshop books I have come across. It covers a broad range of print techniques and methods, explained in simple but detailed ways and produced in a relatable format. It will also serve as a source of research material for the students due to the numerous examples of practitioners and their work shown within its pages.
