Printmaking is an area of visual arts which deals with different processes in the multi-production of art works. The study discusses the various methodologies and processes involved in printmaking such as the linocut technique, etching, line engraving, aquatint and deep etching techniques otherwise known as intaglio. Of particular interest is the intaglio technique of printmaking, from design conceptualization to details of printing processes. Teaching and training in this field has metamorphosed into a fast digital lane. This has been difficult for the developing parts of the world to catch up. A hybrid flat-bed relief printmaking machine is proposed in this work. The machine employs both manual and electric motor technology for running the rolling parts. In this way a smooth transition is envisage from the conventional manual machine to the digital machines that are used in the industrialization of the textile industry.
