The art of producing an image from a metal plate into which an image or text has been etched with acid
An intaglio method in which the lines are bitten by acid The plate is coated with an acid-resistant material (ground) through which the artist draws lines that expose the metal The plate is immersed in acid until the lines are bitten into the plate The ground is removed before the plate is inked for printing See ground
An intaglio process in which an acid-resistant ground is applied to a metal p0late, usually copper or zinc, and an image is cut into the ground by the artist using an etching needle or another tool to expose the metal of the plate Acid is then applied to bit the plate, eating away the exposed lines The time the plate is exposed to the acid as well as temperature determines the depth of the lines When the plate is inked, covered with the dampened paper, and run through an etching press, the pressure of the press forces the paper into the etched lines of the drawing and ink is transferred to the paper This results in an impression or print of the image on the plate
The product to be imaged is coated with a resist (a protective coating that resists the acid) An image is exposed on the resist, usually photographically, leaving bare metal and protected metal The acid attacks the exposed metal thus leaving the image etched into the surface of the metal Very fine lines can be reproduced by this process and the only tooling is a piece of film, so spec samples are easily-made
An Intaglio technique The surface of the metal plate is coated with an acid-resistant varnish The artist then creates an image by scraping away areas of the varnish When the plate is dipped in acid, these exposed areas are dissolved In printing, ink gathers in the recessed areas and produces an image in reverse when pressed against dampened paper For etching, see Picasso, Untitled: 1er Avril 1968
an etched plate made with the use of acid an impression made from an etched plate
A metal plate, usually copper or zinc is etched using various acids or mordants Instead of cutting directly onto the plate, the artist covers the plate with acid-resistant ground and then draws on the plate, with special sharp tools, to remove the ground where the design is to be The plate is then immersed in an acid bath which bites into the plate where the protective covering has been removed Areas that are corroded, or bitten, are what will hold ink
The process of rendering an image upon a metal plate by using nitric or other acid to dissolve portions of the metal surface The image is transferred to paper in much the same manner as a dry point Properly called a "print" or "proof" the resulting copy is more commonly called an etching
A metal plate is first covered with an acid-resistant ground, then worked with an etching needle The metal exposed by the needle is "eaten" in an acid bath, creating the recessed image
A form of intaglio, "etching" is often used synonymously with "intaglio " A metal plate (zinc or copper) is covered with an acid-resistant ground, on which a design is scratched with a variety of sharp tools The plate is then immersed in an acid bath, and the acid eats away (bites, etches) the areas exposed where the resinous ground has been scratched away The longer a plate has been left in the acid, the deeper and hence darker the etched areas become The plate may be inked and impressions pulled from it, as above
An intaglio process in which an image is scratched through an acid-resistant coating on a metal plate The plate is then dipped in acid which eats into the exposed surface
The act, art, or practice of engraving by means of acid which eats away lines or surfaces left unprotected in metal, glass, or the like
An intaglio technique whereby marks are bitten into the metal plate by chemical action The plate is coated with a ground (either hard or softground) impervious to acid through which the artist draws to expose the metal The plate is then immersed in an acid bath until the open lines of areas are sufficiently bitten Finally, the ground is removed and the plate inked and printed Etching is commonly used in combination with drypoint, aquatint, and other intaglio processes
chemical surface corrosion, usually conducted in a controlled fashion on a polished surface of a material sample to reveal details of the microstructure
(n) The method of creating patterns, typically in metal, using chemical processes In the electronics industry, etching is used to remove conductive material, usually copper, from printed circuit boards to create wiring patterns The wiring pattern is printed on the board in a chemically resistant ink, and the rest of the conductive material is then dissolved away in a chemical bath
