Unlike other forms of printmaking, which result in multiple copies of a single image, a monotype is a unique, one-of-a-kind print. The artist paints and draws directly onto a plate, often plexiglass, and then transfers the paint or ink onto paper by running the plate and moistened paper through a press or by applying pressure by hand. Monotype is considered to be the most painterly of printmaking processes because of the direct and spontaneous way the ink or paint is applied and removed.
