Production Process

Engraving copper plate for printing typically involves a few different steps.

1. Preparing the Plate: The first step is to prepare the plate by cleaning it. This is done with a mixture of soap and water to remove any oils or dirt. The plate is then dried and polished with a cloth.

2. Transferring the Image: After the plate has been prepared, the image to be printed must be transferred to the plate. This is done by either drawing the image onto the plate with an etching tool, or transferring a photograph or an image onto the plate.

3. Engraving the Plate: Once the image has been transferred, the engraving process begins. In this process, the etching tool is used to create lines in the plate that will later be inked and transferred onto paper. Depending on the desired level of detail, the engraving process can be painstakingly slow, taking several hours or even days.

4. Inking the Plate: Once the engraving is complete, the plate is inked and then wiped with a cloth so only the engraved areas hold the ink.

5. Printing the Plate: Finally, the plate is ready to be printed. The plate is placed into an etching press, which uses pressure and a plate roller to transfer the inked image onto paper or other material.
