Transfer printing is where the ink and paint is applied to an object and then the object is used to transfer the ink to the paper or material.

Most printing techniques use the transfer process. You can use engraved plates, lithography, stone, lead type, etc. to transfer the ink, even a rubber roller that picks the ink up from the type sheet and puts it on the paper.
