In intaglio the engraving is made on a metal plate and the ink is deposited in the hollows, that is, in the engraved parts and not on the relief parts as in the woodcut.
With the pressure exerted by the press, the ink contained in the excavated parts is transferred to the sheet.
The new system, called chalcographic, immediately meets with great favor, especially for the possibilities of using many materials and interesting technical variations.
The metals used to engrave are generally copper, which thanks to its ductility is the most used and allows the best results, zinc, shops brass, aluminum, iron and steel.
