Drypoint
Drypoint is a printmaking technique of the intaglio (printmaking), intaglio family, in which an image is incised into a plate (or "matrix") with a hard-pointed "needle" of sharp metal or diamond point. In principle, the method is practically identical to engraving. The difference is in the use of tools, and that the raised ridge along the furrow is not scraped or filed away as in engraving. Traditionally the plate was copper, but now cellulose acetate, acetate, zinc, or plexiglas are also commonly used. Like etching, drypoint is easier to master than engraving for an artist trained in drawing because the technique of using the needle is closer to using a pencil than the Burin (engraving), engraver's burin. The term is also used for inkless scratched inscriptions, such as glosses in manuscripts. Lines and burrs The lines produced by printing a drypoint are formed by the Burr (metal), burr thrown up at the edge of the incised lines, in addition to the depressions formed in the sur ...
