Is the process of creating artworks by printing, normally on paper, but also on fabric, wood, metal, and other surfaces.

However a secondary or third less contrasted image maybe pulled from the same plate afterwards. This is called a 'ghost' image, it will have the same shapes but different values.
Monotype and monoprint are sometimes used interchangeably because both involve the transfer of water-based or oil based ink onto paper using a transfer process or a press.
