engraving (printing process) (intaglio printing processes, printing processes, ... Processes and Techniques (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: The intaglio process in which the design is incised into a printing plate, usually a flat copper plate, with the aid of a graver or burin that is held in the palm of the hand and pushed against the copper to cut lines comprising V-shaped grooves. The plate is then inked up, wiped so that ink is retained in the grooves and then forced out under the pressure of the printing process to create lines on the paper. The technique was first developed in the early 15th century in Germany, probably by goldsmiths who wished to keep records of the designs they had engraved on their wares. The process is distinct from "wood engraving (process)," which is a process for relief printing; "wood cut (process)" refers to engraving wood blocks for printing. Historically, "engraving" has sometimes been used incorrectly to refer to all printmaking processes, particulalry any process employing printing plates. For the single step of incising an inscription or design into any surface, not only a printing plate, see "engraving (incising)."

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Wordt gebruikt voor het diepdrukproces waarbij het ontwerp in de drukplaat wordt gegroefd. Wordt onderscheiden van 'houtgraveren', want dat is een reliëfdrukprocédé. Is in het verleden soms gebruikt om te verwijzen naar drukprocédés in het algemeen, meestal die procédés waarbij gebruik werd gemaakt van drukplaten; gebruik de juiste voor- en achtervoegsels om de term te specificeren. Gebruik 'graveren (inkerven)' als het uitsluitend gaat om de handeling van het insnijden van het patroon. |
| Spanish ..... El proceso de la talla en el cual el diseño se incide en la placa de impresión. Distinto del "grabado de madera (proceso),” que es un proceso para la impresión de relevación. Históricamente, se ha utilizado a veces para referirse a procesos impresos que empleaban las placas. Para incidir en el diseño, utilizar el "grabado (la incisión).” |
