Declining or Waning
- Focus on Traditional Printmaking:

Research specifically focused on regional printmaking traditions, particularly those outside Western contexts, has waned, possibly due to a growing emphasis on global perspectives in art history. - Nostalgic or Purely Biographical Studies:
Papers that offer purely biographical accounts of historical printmakers without critical analysis of their works or impact are becoming less prevalent, indicating a shift towards more analytical approaches. - Prints as Decorative Arts:
The examination of prints primarily as decorative arts is declining, as there is a move towards understanding prints as complex artworks with rich narratives and socio-political implications. - Single-Artist Focus:
