Printnimations
This is my term for classic animations created by combining a series of prints, using different printmaking techniques.
Techniques such as monotype and monoprint allow one to use the "ghost" of the previous image (left on the metal plate after it goes through the press) as a guide to the next image, the same way one would use onion-skin in classic animating.

Printnimations
As distinct from monotype, etching and drypoint are irreversible techniques - once engraved into the metal plate, the lines and shapes will never come off - and so these printmaking techniques presents a new (and rather counterintuitive) challenge to creating animation; in other words, once an image is completed, I will not be able to erase it and create another in its place. Rather, the images will all combine to create a “shadow” of movement, which will eventually become completely unintelligible.
