9. Printmaking
Intaglio
The process of intaglio printing
involves etching an image onto
a plate using acid, inking the
plate, then running it through a
printing press.

10. Printmaking
Lithography
Lithography is a method
for printing using a stone
with a completely smooth
surface. Using oil or fat
and gum arabic to divide
the smooth surface into
hydrophobic regions
which accept the ink, and
hydrophilic regions which
reject it and become the
background.
