The art of carving the woodcut is technically known as xylography, though the term is rarely used in English. For colour printing, multiple blocks are used, each for one colour, although overprinting two colours may produce further colours on the print. The paper is normally keyed to a frame around the woodblocks. There are three methods of printing to consider: Woodblock for textile printing, India, about 1900, 22×17×8 cm ; Stamping: Used for many fabrics, and most early European woodcuts (1400–40).

The Spanish religious missionaries to the Philippines did not bring with them equipment for mass production of books and manuscripts. Instead, they employed the knowledge of the Chinese in the country to construct the first printing press. This first printing press used xylography, a type of relief printing technique with letters or characters etched on blocks of wood. One of the first books printed in the country using the technique is the Doctrina Christiana, a catechetical book meant to educate the local population on the Roman catholic religion, with hymns and prayers written in the local language (Tagalog) and script (Baybayin).

Bi Sheng used clay type, which broke easily, but Wang Zhen by 1298 had carved a more durable type from wood. He also developed a complex system of revolving tables and number- association with written Chinese characters that made typesetting and printing more efficient. Still, the main method in use there remained woodblock printing (xylography), which "proved to be cheaper and more efficient for printing Chinese, with its thousands of characters".Beckwith, Christopher I., Empires of the Silk Road: A History of Central Eurasia from the Bronze Age to the Present, Princeton University Press, 2009, Copper movable type printing originated in China at the beginning of the 12th century.

He managed to work in all techniques known to art (including xylography, lithography and silkscreen printing), in addition he inventing several new ones. The master’s creativity is truly popular» «Alexei Orlovsky is extremely realistic: everything that he creates is familiar, self- experienced, felt by that to which his memory relentlessly returns, using different levels of fixation – from the documentary series to the colored image. In the cacophony of color and the large format of Orlovsky's works, the artist's picturesque temperament finds its expression, signifying the attitude toward life…». «The typical Orlovsky is «summer», generously sprinkled with the brightest colors, sketched from the pieces of cotton blanket.

According to García Padrino, " Narciso Méndez Bringa represented the validity of the Nineteenth Century's concept of illustrating texts. Literary or not, his illustrations were vigorous and fully detailed in setting and characterization, with images destined to be printed by xylography". Bringa was also described as "a member of a conservative group of costumbrist artists rooted in the nineteenth-century" and as "an artist he was anchored in a modernist-toned past". Narciso Méndez Bringa collaborated in numerous magazines including The Ocurrencias, La Ilustración, The Graphic, El Arte Moderno, Caras y Caretas, La Ilustración Española y Americana, Apuntes, La Ilustración Artística, ABC and Blanco y Negro, in which he was "a constant illustrator of every sort of stories".

The block is cut along the wood grain (unlike wood 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 with block books, which are small books containing text and images in the same block.

View of Speyer in the time of the diets. Xylography from "Cosmographia universalis", Basel 1550, by Sebastian Münster In the first half of the 16th century Speyer once again became the focus of German history. For one, this is expressed in the fact that of thirty Imperial Diets held in this century, five took place in Speyer. In addition, Speyer hosted imperial delegation diets, e. g. in 1558, 1560, 1583, 1595 and 1599/60, prince-elector diets, e. g. in 1588, and imperial moderation diets, e. g. in 1595. Since Luther's posting of his 95 Theses and the Diet of Worms of 1521 creed, the Reformation and uprisings had become the dominating issues of domestic politics.

Xylography of an armadillo, one of the most exotic animals seen by Hans Staden in Brazil (1557) As soon as the first world maps showing Brazil were printed in the Renaissance era of Albrecht Dürer, the recently discovered country aroused the interest of the German public. Among the first attractions were the enthusiastic descriptions and illustrationsVasquez 2000, p. 13. of the Indians, the exotic landscapes, the abundance of wild animals and the new species of plants first conveyed in the works of Hans Staden. This was followed by the writings of adventurers and scientists such as Johann Baptist Emanuel Pohl, author of Viagem no Interior do Brasil, Empreendida nos Anos de 1817 a 1821 e Publicada por Ordem de Sua Majestade o Imperador da Áustria Francisco Primeiro (Voyage in the Interior of Brazil.

Then, in 1830, when he was searching for a simplified way of printing his more than 200 illustrations performed during the Langsdorff Expedition, other than using expensive and time-consuming engravings on wood and metal (xylography and lithography), he invented a new process, similar to the mimeograph, which he named "polygraphia", and began using this commercially in his printing office. As his technique evolved, he was able to combine colors, and to produce uncounterfeitable bank notes. In 1832, with the help of a pharmacist friend, Joaquim Correa de Mello, Florence began to study ways of permanently fixing camera obscura images, which he named "photographia". In 1833, they settled on silver nitrate on paper, a combination which had been the subject of experiments by Thomas Wedgwood around the year 1800.

Fazang's greatest influence was upon his disciple Uisang, who was a senior disciple to Fazang and eventually returned to Korea to establish a brand of Korean Huayan Buddhism, namely Hwaeom. It is well documented that they had a lifelong friendship and frequently corresponded through written letters. Furthermore, he is sometimes credited for having contributed greatly in improving, if not inventing the technology of wood block carving, i.e. xylography. In terms of propagating Huayan Buddhism in China, one of Fazang's greatest contributions was through his translation work, producing a new translation of the Avatamsaka sutra and collaborating with six Tripitaka masters in his efforts to translate it from Sanskrit to Chinese. Furthermore, the teachings of the Avatamsaka sutra were propagated through his close relationship with Empress Wu, and which was strengthened by Fazang’s quelling the Zhang brothers, and Khitan rebellion.

The intricate frontispiece of the Diamond Sutra from Tang-dynasty China, 868 AD (British Museum), which is widely seen as the earliest extant printed book Traditionally, there have been two main printing techniques in East Asia: woodblock printing (xylography) and moveable type printing. In the woodblock technique, ink is applied to letters carved upon a wooden board, which is then pressed onto paper. With moveable type, the board is assembled using different lettertypes, according to the page being printed. Wooden printing was used in the East from the 8th century onwards, and moveable metal type came into use during the 12th century.Fifty Wonders of Korea: Volume 1. Seoul: Samjung Munhwasa, 2007. . The earliest specimen of woodblock printing on paper, whereby individual sheets of paper were pressed into wooden blocks with the text and illustrations carved into them, was discovered in 1974 in an excavation of Xi'an (then called Chang'an, the capital of Tang China), Shaanxi, China.Pan, Jixing.
