| dry point |
intaglio printing technique where the image is drawn directly into a metal plate with a diamond-pointed needle. as a result, ridges of metal are displaced, and adhere to the edges of the incised lines. this displaced metal is called burr. when the plate is inked, the ink fills the incised lines and clings to the burr. damp paper is then placed on the plate and run through a press. the pressure causes the paper to pick up ink from the incised lines and the burr, which creates the distinctively fuzzy line that this technique is known for. dry point print editions are limited because the lines on the plate tend to lose their sharpness. dry point is often used together with etching in order to soften the image. |
