INTAGLIO

Intaglio or Printmaking is the art of printing techniques in which the image is incised or etched into a surface and the incised line or sunken area holds the ink.

Here a Copper plate is etched using traditional form of printmaking that delivers beautiful crisp line work and a wonderful unique aesthetic.

Before the drawing is printed on paper using printing press, it involves an intense process of engraving through corrosive action of acid.

A detailed process is defined at below link by a blogger:
