“Original nennen wir in der Kunst eine Eigenschaft: sie bezeichnet die Echtheit eines Werks - ein Künstler hat es eigenhändig von der Idee bis zur fertigen Realisierung geschaffen, es entstammt also (lat. origo = Ursprung, Herkunft) nur ihm; es ist nicht Kopie, nicht Plagiat, kann aber sehr wohl Replik, d. h. eigenhändige Wiederholung sein. Nicht das Einzigartige, nicht die Zahl, sondern die Authentizität entscheidet.â€

Quoted from: Walter Koschatzky “Die Kunst der Graphik - Technik, Geschichte, Meisterwerke†1983. dtv Munic.

The classically used techniques for original prints are:
relief printing: e. g. woodcut and linocut
intaglio: e. g. etchings
planographic: e. g. lithography

In general a picture is produced by transferring colour onto a material like paper, bord, wood or canvas. The painter uses a brush to do so, the printer artist has to create the forme, that can be a plate a block of wood or composed metal type.
