Median Monoprinting is a process of printmaking which has images, shapes or lines that cannot be reproduced. There are such techniques including collage, hand-printing additions, tracing and so on. 

PROCESS IS AS FOLLOWS:

1. Ink up a plexi-glass or any flat surface.

2. create a design you want by adding random shapes from paper or using paintbrush. 

3. Place down a piece of paper and rub it firmly. It can be printed either by and or using a printing press.

4. Once it is dry, you can then start working into it. 

Monoprinting process

"Most of my work involves Monoprinting. A Monoprint is a printmaking technique where by a plate is inked up, then printed by hand or through a printing press on to paper creating a one off-print, No two prints are the same. I use a plexi-glass plate to roll ink onto the surface then after the print has dried I add detail usually with Watercolours and my trusty Rotring drawing pen."
