Also refers to the act of inscribing something into a surface - using a sharp point to carve words or images into a hard surface, similar to etching. |
| Intaglio printmaking Intaglio is the reverse of Relief printmaking. A design is created on a rigid plate, but the ink is poured over the entire surface and then wiped from the raised portions, leaving ink only in the recesses. As a result, the raised portions will remain white in the print, while the recesses will appear on the paper. |
