lithographing
Printing from stone
Lithographing is producing prints through lithography, a technique where images are drawn on stone or metal plates with greasy materials, then chemically treated so ink adheres only to the drawn areas.
The process allows for detailed, high-volume reproduction of artwork and text: The shop spent weeks lithographing concert posters for the tour.
