A printing or reproduction process using exactly two colors or printing plates.
From duo- (Latin 'two') + type (from Greek typos meaning 'impression' or 'mark'). The term comes from printing terminology.
Before modern color printing, duotype was how printers created impressive effects—they'd carve two separate blocks or plates and align them perfectly, which required incredible skill and is why old books with red and black printing still look gorgeous.
