Printmakers use photographs as source material and for their image making.  Photomechanical printmaking processes are ubiquitous in the studio. 

Photolithography, photogravure, polymer plate, collotype, screen-print, laser/CNC engraving, and inkjet printing (to name a few) offer ways for printmakers to reproduce photographic imagery in ink.  Unlike the smooth gradient images of traditional silver photography, photomechanical images begin as dots, lines and solid shapes and go where the artist takes them.
