What is "intaglio"?
Intaglio is a printing technique where an image is carved into a surface, usually a metal plate. The carved lines are then filled with ink, and the surface is wiped clean so that only the ink in the carved areas remains. The plate is pressed onto paper, transferring the ink and creating a detailed print. This method is known for producing rich, textured prints with fine details, and it is often used for high-quality art prints and money.
