How it's used
Refers specifically to the artistic medium of printmaking rather than just any printed image. Unlike mass produced commercial prints, the term carries an implication of artistic intent and manual technique. It is common to specify the material used, such as 木版畫 for woodcuts or 銅版畫 for etchings.
