The work of printmaker begins with a matrix, in which a design is transferred. According with the technique the design is etched on the metal plate, is carved on the wood, is stabilized on the surface of a marble plate, or is painted on the serigraph screen blocking it selectively. Then, the matrix is inked and printed on paper, fabric or other support. That printed image is what we call print with an epithet bestowed by the nature of the matrix, such as etching, xylographic, lithography, and silkscreen or serigraphic, respectively. The artist decides the number of impressions that he or she is going to make from each matrix, and each one is an original print; also, the totally of that prints is known as an edition; for that reason, the printmaking is called the arts of multiple originals.
