In etching, for example, the plate is pre-covered in a thin, acid-resistant resin or wax ground. copper) plate by means either of a cutting tool called a burin, held in the hand – in which case the process is called engraving or through the corrosive action of acid – in which case the process is known as etching. In intaglio printing, the lines to be printed are cut into a metal (e.g. Īfter the decline of the main relief technique of woodcut around 1550, the intaglio techniques dominated both artistic printmaking as well as most types of illustration and popular prints until the mid 19th century. Collagraphs may also be printed as intaglio plates. Normally, copper or in recent times zinc sheets, called plates, are used as a surface or matrix, and the incisions are created by etching, engraving, drypoint, aquatint or mezzotint, often in combination. It is the direct opposite of a relief print where the parts of the matrix that make the image stand above the main surface.
Intaglio ( / ɪ n ˈ t æ l i oʊ, - ˈ t ɑː-/ in- TAL-ee-oh, - TAH- Italian: ) is the family of printing and printmaking techniques in which the image is incised into a surface and the incised line or sunken area holds the ink. That results in a nice, clean print.Banknote portrait pattern made with intaglio printing. When printing something like this on a press, the cylinder and the press bed provide so much pressure, the paper contacts the plate to collect the ink just once. Lines would print in a staccato style – over and over, next to each other, rather than in the exact same place. So, rubbing the back over and over with a good baren would make contact with the line work on the plate in slightly different regions of the paper, repeatedly. Since there is so much detail, and hundreds of linear elements to transfer from the plate to paper, I think hand-printing this might be a beast. If this experiment were made with a simpler design – no cross hatching, and less cat hair, etc. Printing Lots of Detail on an Intaglio Plate After inking the plate, I wiped it intaglio style (gently) with Akua wiping fabric.
