Talk:Intaglio (printmaking)

Non-intaglio printing processes

I removed the following text from this article, since it is explicitly about non-intaglio printing types:

Apart from intaglio, the other traditional families, or groups of printmaking techniques are:

• Relief prints, including woodcut, where the matrix is cut away to leave the image-making part on the original surface. The matrix is then just inked and printed, not wiped as described above.
• Planographic, including lithography where the image rests on the surface of the matrix, which can therefore often be reused.
• Intaglio and relief, as well as planographic printing processes, print a reversed image (a mirror image of the matrix), which must be allowed for in the composition, especially if it includes text. However offset printing, as mostly used in modern lithography, reverses the image a second time, this is a side effect of the process (first developed for printing onto metals) rather than primarily a means to correct for the image reversal.

Role of photography

Removed this text, which was uncited, and which makes claims about causal developments, making citation not just desirable but really quite necessary: "The golden age of artists engraving was 1450–1550, after which the technique lost ground to etching as a medium for artists, although engravings continued to be produced in huge numbers until after the invention of photography."
