Printing in relief

Printing in relief is a method where the design or image is raised above the background surface. Ink is applied to these raised areas, which then transfer the design onto paper or other materials when pressed. Think of rubber stamps or letterpress printing—it’s like pressing a raised template onto paper to leave an impression. This technique is widely used for creating textured images, labels, and books, allowing for vibrant, bold designs with a tactile quality. The key idea is that the parts to be printed are elevated, making the transfer of ink straightforward and precise.
