ink print

Pressed page image

A print made by applying ink to a surface—typically a carved block, etched plate, or screen—and pressing it onto paper or fabric.

The term distinguishes such prints from digital reproductions or photographic processes: The gallery specializes in original ink prints, not posters.

Also describes the impression left by an inked fingerprint.
