Estamparia: métodos de impressão de fácil acesso ao público

Abstract

This monograph proposes a comparison between the main forms of printing currently available, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages. To this end, the historical contexts, practical applications, and technical characteristics of each methodology were considered, highlighting engraving, with its easy access and adaptability; screen printing, with its potential for large-scale production, even though it is a manual method; and sublimation, or digital printing, for large-scale productions with higher budgets. Being an applied research study with a qualitative approach, using bibliographic research and field observation, it was possible to observe not only the major difficulties faced in the job market by students in the field and by artisans seeking the best technique for their work, but also the obstacles of each methodological choice, as well as the alternatives to each. Although known as a printing method, screen printing will be treated as a separate method in this work for better understanding.
