  2. What is Relief Printing? Relief printing is a method used to make multiple images in which ink is transferred to paper through the use of pressure. The design is made by cutting away from materials such as lino and woodblock leaving a raised area. When printing, these raised areas stores the ink until it is placed onto paper, creating an image. Relief printing is the oldest method of creating prints, dating back eleven hundred years to Ancient China, Europe in 1450s to the Popular Ukiyo-e woodblock prints in the 1600s.
