In the context of the overall victory of the technology in the era of simulacra, printmaking, as a visual expression medium with both art and technology, faces contemporary difficulties and value problems. This study analyzes the profound influence of the age of simulacra on artistic expression and viewing mode. In view of printmaking art, this study puts forward a dual proposition of "collusion" and "resistance", emphasizing that in the process of technological evolution, artists should not only collude with the favorable conditions of digital technology, but also resist the siege of technology, so as to return to the reality of life.
