Relief print is a term used to describe a type of printmaking where the image is raised from the surface of the plate or block. There are several synonyms for this printing method including block print, linocut, woodcut, and letterpress printing. Block printing involves carving an image onto a block of material, such as linoleum or wood, and then inking the raised surface before pressing it onto paper. Linocut printing uses a similar process but with a softer material, while woodcut printing uses a longer and more laborious technique of carving the design into a wooden block. Finally, letterpress printing involves using metal types or plates with raised surfaces to create the image.
