Lithography is a printing process where images are drawn or painted onto a flat stone (or a metal plate) and then transferred to paper. In the case of Midjourney output, this litho print aesthetic will add a classic look with an extreme level of detail. This method allows for high-quality, detailed prints and is revered for its ability to produce accurate reproductions of original artwork. In lithography, artists create images on a limestone surface using a grease-based medium. Water is then applied to the stone, which repels the greasy ink in areas not covered by the drawing. The ink adheres only to the drawing, and the image is transferred to paper through pressing. This technique is valued for its precision, subtlety in shading, and capacity for capturing fine details.
