Monotype: A print where ink is applied to plexiglas (either in an additive or subtractive method) and transferred to paper through the press. Monotypes usually have a more painterly quality to them because of the way the ink is manipulated.

In the subtractive method, a solid layer of ink is rolled onto the plate. Then, using rags, Q-tips, and solvents, the ink is manipulated on the plate. Various textures and values can be achieved in this method. In the additive method, ink is applied to the plate with paint brushes or other tools.
