UTD’s Printmaking facility offers an intimate yet functional studio equipped with computer access. Silkscreen and intaglio are offered in this program as auxiliary experimental art making procedures. These techniques may be combined with photography, computer technology, drawing, painting and sculpture to allow students to explore the conceptual as well as visual.

The revival of printmaking in the arts is due in part to new applications in technology along with an increasing interest in reproductive image alteration. The experimental nature of image development, design application, and medium exploration all play an undeniable role in the visual education, and nowhere else in the arts is this as vitally accessible as in the art of printmaking. More and more artists are combining printmaking with the other visual disciplines, mixing mediums, materials and image sources to find their voice.
