For the current project in SeeLab Foundations we are working with monotypes, and in doing so have found that it is important to understand the difference between a monotype and a monoprint.
A Monotype is a form of print which is created by creating marks on an inked plate or on a piece of paper on top of an inked plate in order to create and image which will be individually different from any potential brothers or sisters that it may have.
A Monoprint is a singular print in a series created by inking and pressing a plate and piece of paper, often based on an etched plate, lithograph, or collograph. Each image within the series is the same, and are often limited to a small issue of editions and numbered.
