What is monotype

Monotype printing is a unique and expressive form of printmaking that creates one-of-a-kind prints. Unlike traditional printmaking techniques like etching or woodcut, where multiple copies of the same image can be reproduced, a monotype is, as the name suggests, a “mono” (one) type of print—there’s only one print made from each design.

What’s special about monotypes is their spontaneity and the freedom they offer. Artists often use it as a way to experiment with colors, shapes, and textures. While the process allows for control in some ways, it also invites serendipity-unexpected effects can occur during the transfer that make each print one-of-a-kind.
