From the root "litho" meaning "stone" and "graph" meaning "writing".  Lithography is the transfer of a pattern or image from one medium to another, as from a mask to a wafer. If light is used to effect the transfer, the term "photolithography" applies. "Microlithography" refers to the proc [..]

A printing process invented in the very late 1700s based on the repulsion between grease and water. The design is put on a limestone surface with a greasy material, and then water and printing ink are successively applied; the greasy parts, which repel water, absorb the ink, but the wet parts do not.  

printing method that relies on the inability of oily ink and water to mix.

Lithographie is an historic limestone printing technique ('lithos' = 'stone' in greek) invented in the 18. century. Today the designation is very often used instead of "fotolithographie", which is a printing technique to use a foto resist mask to mask the surface to be printed.      

Method of printing using a chemically-coated plate whose image areas attract ink and whose non-image areas repel ink.

Process of using a flat-surfaced plate that carries an image, which is transferred to a blanket, then to paper. Also known as offset printing.

Popular printing method for producing large quantities of posters in full colour.
