Engraving Technique - Both copperplate engraving and etching are intaglio methods of fine printmaking. In intaglio printmaking, lines are engraved with metal gravers or etched into a copper plate with the use of acid. The plate is then inked and wiped clean, leaving ink in the incised lines. The plate is printed with great pressure, usually through a set of rollers, so that the dampened paper will absorb all the ink from the lines in the plate.
Engraving: A Renaissance Revival - If you ask four different members of the graphic arts community about engraving, they'll probably give you four different perspectives -- each distinct, yet reaching the same conclusion: engraving is making a comeback. And, it's not your father's engraving.
Laser Engraving: The Basics - Find out how this technology can assist you in your business.
"Letterhead From Your Printer --Only Your Engraver Will Know For Sure?" - The article reviews two programs and services which permits the lawyer to generate letterhead having the appearance of engraved letterhead.
The
Significance of the Art of Engraving - The text
and content of this page were taken from Engrart-The Art of
Original Engraving by Contemporary Italian Masters." This
is the best site on engraving on the internet. This website
pertains to Italian engraving, but the information is so good
that it can be applied to the art in general. The best engravings
are, if fact, Italian and German, in my opinion.
Traditional
Engravings - Are images of traditional subjects
printed from copper or steel engraving plates. Engraving plates
are quite sturdy. When treated with respect they can last indefinitely.
Several publishers are still printing today from eighteenth,
nineteenth and twentieth century plates that keep appealing
to modern tastes.
The Wax Engraving Print-Making Process: A Commercial Success - The name wax engraving is misleading, because this is a relief printing process. David Woodward's book, The All-American Map: Wax Engraving and Its Influence on Cartography, is a wonderful record of the technique and the most important source of information for this article. This technique was an important American commercial map printing technique for nearly a century, from the mid-1800s to the 1960s.
What's the Difference Between Engraving & Thermography? - Engraving and thermography are actually quite different from one another but these two printing methods are frequently confused. The printing results can be somewhat similar and can commonly be found on wedding invitations, business cards and the occasional letterhead.
Why Engraved Stationery? - The business card you hand out, the letter you carefully craft, the envelope you are sending over night - when clients and prospective clients receive your stationery, they are in direct contact with your organization. Often, it is the first contact.
