Intaglio printmaking
Intaglio is the form of printmaking in which the image is incised into the printing plate – the incised areas hold the ink which is transferred to dampened paper, under pressure, by rolling through a press.

Under the umbrella of intaglio, we find the techniques of etching, engraving, drypoint, mezzotint and collagraph.
