Image Principle of Relief Printing.svg thumb The basic concept of relief printing. A is the block or matrix B is the paper the thick black lines are the inked areas. The thickness of the ink is greatly exaggerated for illustration. A relief print is an image created by a printmaking process where protruding surface faces of the matrix printing plate or block are inked recessed areas are ink free. Printing the image is therefore a relatively simple matter of inking the face of the matrix and bringing it in firm contact with the paper. A printing press may not be needed as the back of the paper can be rubbed or pressed by hand with a simple tool such as a brayer or roller. The matrix in relief printing is classically created by starting with a flat original surface, and then removing e.g., by carving away areas intended to print blank. The remaining areas of the original surface receive the ink. The relief family of techniques includes woodcut , metalcut , wood engraving , relief etching , linocut , and some types of collography . Traditional text printing with movable type is also a relief technique. This meant that woodcuts were much easier to use as book illustrations, as they could be printed together with the text. Intaglio illustrations, such as engravings, had to be printed separately.
