What is "relief printing"?

Relief printing is a technique where the areas of a printing plate that are raised above the surface are inked and pressed onto paper. In this process, the image is carved or cut into the plate, so the raised parts hold the ink while the lower areas do not. When the plate is pressed against paper, only the raised parts transfer the ink, creating the printed image. This method produces clear, bold images with distinctive textures.
