LITHOGRAPHS* By
Amado M. Peña, Jr.
*In the printing of a lithograph, the artist draws on a surface with a greasy
substance. The surface is usually a specially prepared stone or a metal plate.
Once the drawing is complete, the surface is treated or "etched" with an acid
solution. The etch creates two separate areas: the non-image area which
attracts water, and the drawn image area which attracts ink. When the
etching process is complete, the printing may begin. The printer covers the
matrix roller with a fine layer of water and proceeds to ink the image. A
roller is covered with ink and rolled over the image. The non-image side
repels the ink while the image side retains the ink. Paper is placed over the
image and it is printed on a press under pressure. The paper is removed and
the process begins again with the application of water and ink.
