Engraving

Engraving

Engraving can be used as a general word meaning the plate has been incised directly without the use of acid. It can also be used specifically to mean that the plate was incised using a tool called a burin which has a 'v' shaped blade designed to "cut" into the plate leaving a clean line. This is a most "un-forgiving" process, and a great deal of confidence is required of the artist.
