Woodcut or Xylographyis arelief printingtechnique inprintmaking. An artist carves an image into the surface of a block ofwood—typically withgouges—leaving the printing parts level with the surface while removing the non-printing parts. Areas that the artist cuts away carry no ink, while characters or images at surface level carry the ink to produce the print. The block is cut along thewood grain(unlikewood engraving, where the block is cut in the end-grain). The surface is covered with ink by rolling over the surface with an ink-covered roller (brayer), leaving ink upon the flat surface but not in the non-printing areas.
Multiple colors can be printed by keying the paper to a frame around the woodblocks (using a different block for each color). The art of carving the woodcut can be called \"xylography\", but this is rarely used in English for images alone, although that and \"xylographic\" are used in connection withblock books, which are small books containing text and images in the same block.Single-leaf woodcutis a term for a woodcut presented as a single image orprint, as opposed to a book illustration.
