What is a lithotint?
Lithotint
A lithographic technique in which lithographic ink is diluted with varying amounts of water before it is painted onto the stone or plate to create the image. Undiluted, the oily ink saturates the stone, which would then print with a solid color; instead, lithotint washes do not fill the stone's pores and look very much like watercolor in the final print, even having a darker rim along the edges of the brushstroke.
