2.) Intaglio

• Intaglio is the precise opposite of relief
  printmaking. In this process the artist carves
  the image onto the matric and then rubs ink into
  these carved lines, making sure that the
  untouched areas are cleaned of ink. In the
  intaglio process the paper is previously soaked
  in water. When it is laid over the matrix and the
  squashed through the printing press, the soft
  paper is pushed into the grooves of the inked
  lines, thus transferring the image onto the
  paper. Many intaglio processes involve creating
  the grooves with acids that eat into a metal
  plate. Variations of the Intaglio techniques
  include Engraving, Etching, Aquatint, and
  Messotint.
