A monotype prints can be created in a number of different ways. One method involves using a tracing paper that is non-absorbent. A sheet of glass can be used as the ink slab. It can also be a piece of old mirror or a piece of perspex. In either case, an old mirror or a sheet of perspex can act as a guide to the process of making a monotype print.

A paper that has been wetted should be placed on the printing slab. The surface should be smooth and non-porous. The paper should be free of paint, water, and cleaning products. Formica or Plexiglas are ideal surfaces for a monotype. However, when making a monotype print, a printing press surface must be flexible. For this reason, it is important to choose a smooth and flexible surface. Although some plastic sheets may hold up to manual pressure, they cannot stand up to the extreme temperature of an inkjet printer. Another option is to use tempered glass as a plate. In this way, it is easy to clean if the paint dries or begins to peel off.

The paper is then dropped onto the inked slab. A good tip for this step is to carefully lift the paper from the ink slab, as it is important not to slide the paper over the ink. This will ensure the ink does not run and create a smudged image. Using a brush for painting the marks is another technique you should try. Any brush will work, but a stiff one will require more pressure. Some artists use a Da Vinci Impasto or hog hair brush.

Once you have a clean surface, add a layer of paint or ink to the paper. Then, work it into the surface using a hand or vertical pressure press. Do not move the paper as you are working, as this can smudge the ink or cause it to run. If you want to use a multi-layered monotype, you can also place tissue paper as a primitive stencil.

You will first need to put your paper on the paint. You should avoid moving the paper once it has touched the paint. Changing the position of the paper can make the ink smudge and create an unprofessional looking print. Once you have the correct placement, you can move on to the next step. After you have completed the monotype, you can move to the next step. Once you've mastered the art of painting, you can even make a monotype in your home.

Once you have the right image, the next step is to create a monotype print. The process of monotype printing is the same as for a monotype. The difference is that the plate is repeated, with the first layer being the same as the second. For a monotype to be made, it should be printed on acid-free paper. A dry monotype will not be affected by sunlight.
