XIV

Monochrome printmaking is: a generic term for any printmaking technique that produces only shades of a single color. While the——term may include ordinary printing with only two colors — "ink" and "no ink" — it usually implies the ability——to produce several intermediate colors between those two extremes.

In contrast with color printing, monochrome printing needs only a single ink and may require only a single pass of the paper through the printing press.
