Definición y Significado de "lithography"

What is "lithography"?

Lithography is a printing process that involves creating an image on a flat surface, usually a stone or metal plate, using grease or oil. The surface is treated so that the greasy parts attract ink, while the non-greasy areas repel it. When the plate is inked and then pressed onto paper, the image transfers with clear details. This method is known for producing high-quality prints with smooth tones and fine details, and it is often used for art prints and illustrations.
