Setting an etching press to print intaglio or relief
Channel: Spines And Splines
Date: 2021-05-12

Learn how to set an etching press to print intaglio plates (etchings, drypoint prints, aquatints and the like) and relief plates (woodcuts and linocuts). In the third section, I demonstrate how you can make custom runners from recycled cardboard to print non-standard relief plates.
