Printmaking Processes: Lithography

Lithography works on the principle that grease and water repel each other. There is no carving involved. The artist draws on a stone with a greasy crayon and then covers the stone with a thin film of water. the oily ink will stick to the greasy image but not to the water-covered areas.

Can I please ask why people use lithography? Isn't it simpler to just photocopy? Is there maybe a difference somewhere?Or is it just used for art, and not practical purposes such as printing posters? Where do we use it?

Zulema that's a good question and I think best answer is probably in 2:53 - 3:00.
