Intaglio printmaking
A copper or zincplate is covered with an acidresistant coat.
With a steelneedle the drawing is made into this coating. Wherever the
metall is bare the nitric acid will etch lines and dots into the plate.
After cleaning the plate ink is pushed into those lines and dots, the
surface of the plate itself is wiped clean, the plate is run with damp
paper on top of it through a printing press. Under the pressure of the
press the paper picks up the ink. For each new impression the plate has
to be inked again. If the drawing is directly made with the steelneedle
into the plate, it will be called drypoint or engraving.
