Monotype prints are one run prints, meaning that the artist can't produce more than one. This is why it is also known as the most painterly of the printmaking techniques. The process involves inking an entire plate and then subtracting the image or adding ink creating the image. Then paper is added to the inked plate and ran through a press transferring the image with pressure. As the ink transfers the image is also making it unable to print again exactly as before. The artist can do many runs through the press and even add other media like collage and drawing.
