The process of "Monoprinting" is an art form that has been practiced for many years. The process involves making "one of a kind" prints by manipulating paints on a non-porous surface and transferring them to paper stock. Recent developments in Acrylic Paint technology has allowed artists to extend paint "working time," giving greater control in monoprinting with water-based media.
Also....
Monoprinting (not to be confused with monotyping) is a print that has images or lines that cannot exactly be reproduced. Monoprints are embellished primarily by altering the type, color, and pressure of the ink used to create different prints. Examples of other prints include lithography, woodblock printing, and etching.
Monoprints are known as the most painterly method among the printmaking techniques, a monoprint is a non editionable kind of print and is essentially a printed painting. The characteristic of this method is that no two prints are alike. However, images can be similar, but editioning is not possible. The beauty of this media is also in its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking, painting and drawing mediums. [1]
Monoprints were brought into mainstream culture in the 1990's thanks to Tracey Emin who used this method of printing as a major form of artistic expression.

I do a fair amount of it:
it's a "one-off" printing method. The imagae is made by coating a surface (wood, metal, plastic) with ink, then putting paper over this surgface, and applying pressure (with a press or by rubbing) so the image appears on the paper.
