lithograph

This term refers specifically to a print made using a chemical process where oil and water repel each other on a flat surface, typically limestone or aluminum. In an art context, it is distinguished from engravings or woodcuts by the absence of incised lines or carved relief, resulting in a softer, more painterly quality that closely mimics the original drawing.

When used as a verb, the word describes the technical act of reproduction. While "print" is a more general term, "lithograph" specifies the exact method of production, making it a technical term used primarily by artists, curators, and printmakers.
