Also known as the most painterly method among the printmaking techniques , a monoprint is essentially a printed painting.

The characteristic of this method is that no two prints are alike; although images can be similar, editioning is not possible.
The appeal of the monoprint lies in the unique translucency that creates a quality of light very different from a painting on 

paper or a print, and the beauty of this media is also in its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking, 

painting and drawing mediums.
