Art. A print taken from oil colour or printer's ink painted on a sheet of glass or metal. Also: the process by which such prints are produced.The process is so called because, strictly speaking, only one print can be taken from each plate. Though the artist may choose to take subsequent prints, often by adding pigment between printings, this produces changes in texture, colour, and effect. The process therefore always yields unique, unrepeatable prints.

Printing. Usually in form Monotype. A proprietary name for: a composing machine comprising a keyboard which produces perforated tape and a caster which is controlled by the tape to produce type in individual characters. Frequently attributive, esp. in Monotype machine. Now chiefly historical.Caster units for Monotype machines have a matrix case which hold matrices for several different fonts or character sets. Each set of perforations in the tape supplies a location code to the caster, enabling it to position the right matrix over the mould and cast the individual character.The Monotype system contrasts with the Linotype system, which casts entire lines of type at a time.
