PRINTS Meaning and
Definition
-
Prints refer to any form of physical reproductions or copies of an original image or document, typically produced using a printing process. The term broadly encompasses various methods employed to transfer ink onto a medium such as paper or fabric, resulting in the replication of the desired image or text. These printed reproductions may range from artworks and photographs to documents, books, advertisements, and textiles.
Prints can be created through different techniques such as relief printing, intaglio printing, lithography, screen printing, or digital printing. Relief printing involves carving the image into a surface, applying ink onto the raised areas, and then transferring the design onto paper. Intaglio printing, on the other hand, utilizes an incised or etched plate, with the ink being held in the recessed areas. Lithography works by using a flat surface treated to repel ink, except in the desired image area, while screen printing presses ink through a mesh screen onto the printing surface. Digital printing utilizes computer technology to directly transfer digital files onto the printing medium.
Prints hold significant historical, artistic, and educational value, allowing for the dissemination and preservation of information, as well as the mass production of images and texts. They can be collected, displayed, studied, analyzed, and appreciated for their aesthetic qualities, artistic creativity, and cultural significance. From photographs capturing important moments in history to fine art prints reflecting various artistic styles and movements, prints serve as tangible records and representations of human expression and creativity.

Etymology of PRINTS
The word "prints" has its etymology traced back to the Latin word "imprimere", which means "to press into" or "to stamp". This Latin word is derived from the combination of "in" (meaning "into") and "premere" (meaning "to press"). Over time, the word "imprimere" evolved into "prentes" in Old French, and eventually, the word was anglicized into "prints" in Middle English.
