Flood In printing, this term refers to filling an entire page with ink, so that no blank paper or canvas remains. This is also known as "painting the sheet". |
Foil imaging A relatively new style of printmaking that was first practised in the late 1980s, foil imaging involves using a heat press to apply roll-leaf, "hot stamped" foil to various surfaces to create iridescent, reflective images. Some artists combine traditional printmaking methods with foil imaging in their pieces. |
