In relief printmaking, the matrix is a block of wood or linoleum. Using knives and gouges, the artist cuts away lines and areas. When the artist rolls or dabs ink onto the block, the ink adheres only to the surface, skipping over the cut-away areas.
Intaglio (from the Italian world to carve) might be considered the reverse of relief printing.The matrix in intaglio is a thin plate of metal (usually zinc or copper), plexiglass, or any other surface in which a line can be engraved. Each intaglio process uses a different method of creating permanent marks on the plate.

What is brayer in art?
A brayer is a roller with which one spreads ("brays") ink during the printmaking process. It somewhat resembles a paint roller, but is smaller in diameter, shorter in length and hasn't got any of that 'fluffy' stuff that wicks up paint. Brayers are used in relief printing.

What is the difference between photography and printmaking?
Photography is the process by which photographs are created. A camera is used. The images may then be printed. Printmaking is another art form (although, unlike photography, it is strictly an art form).In printmaking, an image is carved into a surface. Ink is applied and the image of the carving is then printed. Printmaking is actually the process - not just how you distribute the product.
