In addition, the size of the collections makes it possible to exhibit only a small portion at any one time. For reasons of preservation, works of art on paper cannot be exposed to light for long periods of time. The collections in the Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs are shown in exhibitions that change regularly.

Print, Drawing, and Photography Galleries. Impression - State - Edition - Bon à Tirerįrom: Works on Paper Series. The print is inspected and either reworked and etched if necessary.MATERIALS & METHODS - Drawing - Printing - Gallery Notes Defining features of intaglio prints would be the richness of the ink and embossed plate mark. The blankets are pulled back and the print lifted from the plate. The plate is rolled through the press, which exerts very high pressure to transfer the ink from the plate onto the paper to form the print The plate is placed face-up on the bed of the etching pressĪnd covered with a sheet of dampened printing paper
INTAGLIO ENGRAVING FULL
This removes the ink from the face of the plate, gradually uncovering the image, whilst leaving the etched areas full of ink The surface of the plate is then wiped with a coarse muslin called scrim.
Ink is then applied to the plate andpushed into the grooves and etched textures. Once the etching is complete, the ground is removed and the plate is prepared for printing. The length of time the plate is exposed to the etching solution will determine the depth of the groove and the amount of ink that can be held. The plate is then placed into an etching solution, which eats into the exposed metal to form a groove that will hold ink. When the wax ground has dried and hardened, an image is drawn with a metal point, removing areas of the wax to reveal the metal underneath which will become exposed to acid. The wax ground is melted onto the surface and rolled out to a thin even film A metal plate, usually copper, steel or zinc is prepared by filing down the edges, polishing, and de-greasing.
