Etching
Etchings are created by making indents or incisions into a printing plate using acid. When ink is applied to the plate these sunken areas are filled up. The rest is cleaned away, leaving the image ready to be printed. Paper is placed on top of the plate and they are run through a printing press together. Under high pressure, the paper is forced into the ink-filled grooves in the plate, and the image is transferred onto the sheet.
