| I am a printer specially for the lithography.
Lithography is a 200 year old printing technique, invented in Germany.
Unlike the etching or engraving on metal plates,
it is a planographic printing process based on the resistance of water to grease.
An image is drawn on limestone or an aluminium plate with a greasy substance,
such as a crayon or ink. Then etched with acid to make stabilise the image.
After dampening the surface with water, printing ink adheres only on the image area.
When the matrix is run through a press with a sheet of paper, the inked surface is transferred.
The fluid, spontaneous strokes that appear in lithography
because of the grain of stones or aluminium plates.
Unfortunately, to the printer, always more respect on printing technique.
I conjecture that beyond technique, however, the successful work of art
will be a fortuitous marriage of idea, image, and process.
