Question

Which of the following printing processes does not produce an inverse image in the result?

• A. Etching
• B. Lino cut
• C. Wood cut
• D. Silk screen

Hint:

Think of it this way: if you press something onto paper to transfer an image, it will be reversed. If you push ink {through} something (like a stencil or screen), it stays the same way around.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Image reversal in printmaking is key. Traditional methods like relief and intaglio use a mirror-image plate. Pressing the plate reverses the image to its correct orientation.
Step 2: Evaluate the choices.

Etching, Lino cut, and Wood cut all use reversed matrices, resulting in a mirror image on the print.
Silk screen (Serigraphy) is a stencil method. Ink passes directly through the screen, producing a print in the same orientation as the screen design.
