Such gatherings can take place in different formats, including workshops, exhibitions, lectures, and competitions. They may be organized by print studios, art schools, cultural institutions, or independent artists. The events typically attract enthusiasts, professionals, and students interested in traditional and contemporary printmaking methods, such as etching, lithography, screen printing, and digital printing.

Tulostustapahtuma often highlights the historical and artistic value of printmaking, which has played a crucial role in the dissemination of ideas, literature, and visual art throughout history. Modern print events also emphasize innovation, blending traditional techniques with digital technologies to explore new creative possibilities.

Participants in these events may include printers, illustrators, graphic designers, and typographers, who collaborate to discuss trends, challenges, and advancements in the field. Exhibitions at these gatherings often feature original works, limited-edition prints, and experimental projects that demonstrate the versatility of printmaking as both an art form and a practical medium.
