Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The working surface from which a print is made is commonly referred to as the matrix. This can include materials such as a woodcut block, an etched metal plate, or a lithographic stone. While a metal plate may be used as a matrix, it is not the specific term used to describe the working surface. Ground refers to a preparation of a surface, palette is used for mixing paint, and screen is used in screenprinting.
