Minna Resnick, "Are They", Mixed media and drawing, 2002.

Gum printing, also known as paper plate lithography, is a method of inking up an image directly from a photocopy (or laser jet print) and transferring it to rag paper. It is similar to lithography in process, but your photocopy becomes your printing plate, which is then run through the press.  This is a relatively easy, quick and fun method to get images – both simple and complex – onto good paper.  All skill levels are welcome.
