The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- "Traditional printmaking" normally covers only the process of creating prints using a hand-processed technique, rather than a photographic reproduction of a visual artwork which would be printed using an electronic machine, however, there is some cross-over between traditional and digital printmaking, including risograph.
- Prints are created by transferring ink from a matrix to a sheet of paper or other material, by a variety of techniques.
- Common types of matrices include: metal plates for engraving, etching and related intaglio printing techniques, stone, aluminum, or polymer for lithography, blocks of wood for woodcuts and wood engravings, and linoleum for linocuts.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Printmaking article was read about 76,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 65: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
