The term monotype and monoprint are often used interchangeably, but they
represent two distinct processes.
A monotype is made by drawing or painting on a smooth surface and
transferring the image to a sheet of paper.
A monoprint contains lines or images that can be repeated exactly from one
impression to the next such as etched lines, a carved woodblock or a
lithographic drawing. The artist varies the inking in each image, creating a
unique impression that is called a monoprint.
