List of printmakers
This is a list of artists who engaged significantly in printmaking. Reproductive means the copying in prints of paintings etc. by others. For traditional Japanese woodblock artists see Category:Ukiyo-e artists. If an artist's career covers two periods, they should be listed in the first period in which they would have been notable, unless they are strongly associated with the following period.
