Relief is a collective name for a group of processes in which the image is formed on the paper by inking an uneven surface. In other words, the areas to show white on the printed paper are incised out of the plate.
In a relief monoprint, the artist paints onto the plate other elements that, when printed, constitute the image. When the artist uses the plate to make subsequent prints, each print will vary since the painted elements are unique to each plate. An artist may therefore produce similar monoprints, but no two will be identical.
