The exposed image is then processed so that the printing surface accepts ink in the image areas, allowing the design to be transferred onto paper through the printing press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis technique combines the principles of photography with traditional lithographic printing, making it possible to create highly detailed images, photographs, textures, and graphic compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this 4-hour introductory class, you’ll be guided through the basic photolithography process, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding the principles behind photolithography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreparing a photographic or digital image for exposure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eTransparency will be created for you before the class\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePreparing and coating a light-sensitive lithographic plate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExposing the plate using UV light\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProcessing the plate and developing the image\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreparing the plate for inking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInking and printing your image using a professional printing press\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding basic registration and edition printing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes Photo Lithography Special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotolithography opens up a different way of thinking about printmaking.
