Printmaking has been around a long time, and keeps evolving over time. It's played a large role as a technology in recording history.
Printmakers made first-person accounts of what they were studying. Before photography, this helped people all over see things they otherwise wouldn't have.
Printmaking creates a sort of community, because there are many steps and skills necessary to the process. It's important you have others to help you and work with.
We use things that have been made by the process of printmaking everyday, such as money.
There are many different kinds of printmaking such as:
-woodcut
-lithography
-screenprint
-letterpress

Andy Warhol used printmaking in many of his works, and used it as a symbol of mass-production in society.
