Answer to Question 1

Mass-produced images are reproductions of a singular image. Printmaking techniques produce multiple impressions in an edition. Artists employing any printmaking technique do so because of the unique quality of each print, and the creative, original nature of the product, which affects the value of the artwork.

Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary but should include a description of the process. Monotype offers several technical advantages. The range of colors is unlimited, as is the potential for lines or tones. No problems arise with cutting against a grain or into resistant metal. The artist can work as freely as in a direct process such as painting or drawing but the final print may feature blended colors and softened contours. The textures of brush strokes on the plate disappear into flatness on the paper. Some artists prefer this process because of the unique nature of the print. The initial, original image is not permanent and is recorded in the subsequent print. Employing a particular technique is a personal choice and involves the unique qualities the particular technique produces.
