Watermark

A watermark is an image or pattern embedded into a sheet of paper during the papermaking process. Each papermaker includes a faint trademark, which becomes visible when the paper is held up to a light source. Watermarks serve as a mark of authenticity and are used for identification, often carrying historical significance in determining the origin and age of the paper.

Print Proof

A print proof refers to any test impressions made from a printing plate or block to check the image quality before the final print is completed. These proofs are used as quality checks to ensure that the details and alignment are correct. Different types of proofs, such as artist's proofs or trial proofs, serve specific purposes during the printmaking process.

Mono-Ha

Meaning School of Things, Mono-ha originated in Tokyo in the mid-1960s. Instead of creating traditional artwork, the artists of Mono-ha used different materials and their natural properties to express dismay at the industrialization taking place in Japan at the time. The movement gained international attention and is now a widely respected form of art, known for its emphasis on the relationship between materials and their environment.
