Answer 1

Answer:

Printmaking is the process of taking a design or image and adding ink to it to make a copy using a printing plate, a press, or a piece of paper. The two types of printmaking are relief printing and intaglio. Relief printing is done by outlining an image on a surface, and then carving along the outline. The artist then applies the raised areas with ink, to be pressed on to a surface. Intaglio is similar, but the ink is added to the grooves, rather than the raised surfaces.

Answer 2

Printmaking is the activity or occupation of making pictures or designs by printing them from specially prepared plates or blocks. 
The four main types of printmaking are Lithography and Intaglio
Lithography is printing from a stone or a metal plate with a smooth surface it can be used to print text or artwork onto paper or other surface material.
Intaglio is the family of printing and printmaking techniques in which the image is incised into a surface and the incised line or sunken area holds the ink it is the direct opposite of a relief print.
Relief printing is printing from raised images as in letterpress and flexography.
Screen printing is where you face ink or metal onto (a surface) through a prepared screen of fine material so as to create a picture or pattern.
