Question

Which intaglio technique uses a burin to cut lines into a metal printing plate?

Answer 1

An intaglio plate, more commonly known as etching plate in the U.S., is a metal plate (usually zinc or copper) which has been coated with a resistance substance. Ink is then forced into the grooves within the plate; under pressure the plate will release the ink. Damped paper, creating an "etching" or "intaglio" print.
