Intaglio
Any form of printmaking in which an image is incised into a plate, or matrix (typically of metal), and then filled with ink and transferred by pressing or rubbing the plate onto another surface (usually paper). Etching (including aquatint), engraving, dry point, and mezzotint are all forms of intaglio, as distinct from relief and planographic printmaking (such as woodcuts and lithography, respectively).
