Image from: http://www.duckprintfineart.com.au/techniques/ http://www.duckprintfineart.com.au/techniques/ Intaglio (etching, engraving, aquatint, etc.) is generally done using a metal plate such as zinc or copper. Your image needs to be thoroughly “scratched” into the plate. Line variations affect the darkness of shading and the sharpness of the print. MENU

14. Process The ink must be spread thoroughly (using a card or some form of straight edge) into the plate in order to get into the etching lines. You then take a cloth and wipe away the ink on the plate. This way only the ink in the lines will appear on the paper. It won’t catch the ink in the etched lines so don’t worry. When you reveal your print, you should see the etched markings from your plate on the paper.

They will protect the plate etchings from fading due to age and use.** MENU
