Monoprints are designed on a plate with no incised or applied design. It is a more painterly approach on the plate. Ink layers and textures are laid down on the blank plate. Once printed the image is lifted off the plate and all that remains is a “ghost” image. Only one print is the original The "ghost" can be manipulated and printed; tho similar, it is not the same as the original. Only one print is the original monoprint
