Acrylic Painting Process

In intaglio printing, the inked plate is placed on the press bed with the inked side facing upward. The paper is then carefully placed over the plate. Heavy pressure is applied using the etching press, ensuring the ink transfers from the recessed areas of the plate to the paper, creating the print.

• Plate placement: The inked side of the plate faces upward on the press bed.
• Pressure application: Heavy pressure ensures the ink transfers accurately to the paper.
• Critical step: Proper placement of the plate and paper is essential to avoid smudges or incomplete prints.
