lithografietechniek

Lithografietechniek, also known as lithography, is a printing technique that uses a flat stone or metal plate to print multiple copies of an image. The process involves several key steps: plate preparation, inking, printing, and cleaning. The plate is typically made of stone or metal and is coated with a light-sensitive material called a photopolymer. The image to be printed is transferred onto the plate using a light source, which hardens the photopolymer in the areas where the image will appear. The unexposed areas of the plate are then washed away, leaving a relief image. The plate is then inked and pressed onto paper or other substrates to create the printed image. The technique is known for its ability to produce high-quality, detailed prints with a wide range of colors. Lithography has been used for centuries in various applications, including art, advertising, and packaging. It is particularly valued for its durability and long-lasting prints.
