Lithography
A printing technique in which the image areas on the lithographic stone or metal plate are chemically treated to except ink
and repel water, while the non-image areas are treated to repel ink and retain water.
Because the printing surface remains flat, lithography is sometimes referred to as a planographic technique.

Serigraphy
This is also referred to as silkscreen or screen printing. Uses a stencil process that uses a fabric to support the stenciled image while
ink is forced through the mesh with a squeegee on to a piece of paper or another substrate.

Silk Screen
