Planographic prints are printed onto the same plane like music and movie posters, giclée prints, and digital prints. Giclée prints are made from photographing original work like a painting or drawing and reprinting them using extremely sophisticated, professional printers. Despite being reprinted into multiple copies, giclée prints are considered fine art prints due to the high quality and superior precision of the printers used. Giclées are therefore different from digital prints which refer to taking a digital-based image and printing it out.
Some planographic artists also make monotypes by making an ink or painted image directly on a smooth surface—usually glass or metal—and then hand printing the art onto paper. Monotypes only create a single image, however, as the printing process removes the ink artwork. So each one is truly one of a kind.
