## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Process, process, process!
*by W***D on October 31, 2004*

This book is almost a catalog of every printmaking process around. It covers all the basics: intaglio, relief, screen prints, litho, and monoprint. It covers related technique, including embossed "dimensional" prints (aka "blind" prints), molded paper, and more. It devotes special attention to collographs, prints from textured or collage surface, and much too much more to describe.Best, the tools, materials, and how-to of every process are described in a fair bit of detail. Because so many processes are listed, each one gets just a short section, nowhere near what a printmaker would need in practice. Still, the descriptions serve at least two purposes. First, they may entice an artist into learning more about a process.Second, and more importantly for me, is that you don't have to be a printmaker to read this book and benefit from it. I'm a fan of fine prints, even though I don't make prints myself. I like to know what I'm looking at. I like to see a mark in a print and understand where it came from, how the artist's hand created it. By explaining each process, this book helps me understand the result of the process, and understand its effect on the finished product. Not everyone sees art that way, but it makes me feel somehow closer to the creator.I recommend this to anyone who loves fine prints. Perhaps it's helpful to the printmaker looking for new techniques to try. It is certainly useful for the viewer, in understanding how the artist makes a vision come alive on paper.//wiredweird

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book is excellent
*by B***C on July 16, 2024*

This book is excellent. It covers all aspects of printmaking. Drawback is that it is a little older and does not have much information about non-toxic printmaking.My only disappointment is that some of the pages from the front of the book, including the chapter directory were missing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is full of great advice and information
*by J***L on July 20, 2016*

This book is full of great advice and information. It's a very extensive explanation of all types of printmaking and it has very good steps in how to produce prints. I bought the Kindle​ version, quite a savings compared to the hard copy. My only complaint is all of the pictures are in black and white, I'm sure this is only for the kindle version. Also, it's a textbook but it still is an interesting read.
