hand printing?

Question

what is the meaning of hand printing?

Answer 1

Various printing techniques have been developed including, direct printing, resist printing, and screen-printing. Direct printing is practiced all over India where a bleached cotton or silk fabric is printed with the help of wooden blocks, with beautifully carved designs. But first the outline block is printed, after which the blocks for filling in the colors are to be utilized. If the background is to be a light color, the cloth is dyed after the printing has been completed. Normally, three to four colors are used.

Answer 2

There are several printing methods in existence. The block print, lino cut, woodcut and then there's lithography, silk screen, and etching. All of them can be created by the artist. When you hear that a print has been hand pulled it means that the artist pulled the print from the cut surface. Meaning: A woodbock print has cuts in the wood which visually describe the image. The artist inks the surface of the wood and then lays down a piece of paper, they can run this through a press or burnish the paper to lift the ink onto the surface of the paper. Once this is done the artist will pull the paper off the surface. The best way you can tell if you are looking at an original print is to look at the edition number...if the number is over 150 to 200, generally, the print has been commercially reproduced..(machines do it). If the number is lower an artist ran the print.
