Print: Merge?

I think the data for things typed as print came from SFMOMA.

Steve Tolleson: http://www.sfmoma.org/artists/100338/artwork - I did not click on each piece, but I saw that some were mixed media including offset prints, and some were just offset prints.

Jack Stauffacher: http://www.sfmoma.org/artists/100376/artwork?artwork=127399 - these are mostly typographic prints

I would vote that the art media for these topic be changed to something more specific, and that this type be deleted -- it is not very specific.

I was looking at artworks / visual media in the print/printmaking area for my Printmaking base the other day. It looks like the data in the various print media is kind of messy. Here's a list of artworks whose media contains the word "print" and whose art form is not photography: Prints. If you sort by print media, you can see there are a lot of very slightly different variations, which could probably be structured better. I didn't tackle it, since I think a lot of these are photographic printing techniques, which I know nothing about.

Thanks for checking!

I can't actually find anything in Wikipedia that really corresponds to this, surprisingly. Old master print is the closest I found, but it's still pretty clearly not the same thing. I'll capitalize the topic name, though -- that will look better, anyway.

I don't know enough about art terms, but I find it hard to believe that an art print isn't already represented (from wiki alone). Does anyone know if this should/can be merged with another topic?
