Theory Of Out Of Print Watermark Print Research

The exploration of the creation of one-time watermark prints comes from thethinking of the combination of traditional watermark prints technique andcontemporary creative prints. It absorbs the media and superb technique of traditionalwatermark prints, at the same time, learns from the creative method of engraving andprinting of one-time oil printing with colors, in such a way, forms a new creativemethod of watermark printing.The creative method of one-time watermark prints is to combine drawing,engraving and printing altogether, with the same piece of wood, engraving andprinting takes place en switch, during the process of which the wood is destroyednaturally to complete one-time-for-all the required number of works. The smoothprocess of engraving and printing on the same wood can omit the useless andso-called unchangeable process of the creation of watermark printing in the past. As aresult, the creation process is more simple, more quickly, using less wood helping theauthors reduce theirs burden.After several years of exploration work, I have initially formed the process of thecreation of one-time watermark printings. The one-time watermark prints continue thematerials and printing skills of traditional watermark printing, maintaining its strongoriental artistic style, at the same time, absorb the new creative method of one-time oilcolorful printing, such as engraving and printing en switch, destruction of woodnaturally, etc. therefore, the one-time watermark prints not only have the traditionalcultural style, but also have the uniqueness of free creation of modern prints. In thisarticle, there is a detailed introduction of the practice and related theory of one-timewatermark prints, hoping to provide helps to the other watermark prints authors andtheir creation work of deeper studies. With our joint efforts, we hope to be one of themany forces that push the development of China’s contemporary watermark prints.
