Firstly, u have to choose a good metallic piece or a special stone piece. It is better if they are flat.
Then, use one special kind of plastic paper which includes 2 layers : paper and pastic to cut the image u want on its surface which is plastic side. To do that u have to use a computer connected with another machine, maybe it is called "computer knife"...
When u have the cut image, u peel the paper layer out if the plastic paper. Then, u will see an adhesive layer on the back of the plastic layer, this layer helps u stick the plastic sheet on the surface of metal or stone.
Next, u pick the pieces of cutting lines or shapes up, u see the pict.
Then,use a special kind of acid to spill over the piece of metal or stone. The acid immediately eats into the metal tracing the lines which are made before. After some seconds or minutes, use some water to wash all of the acid left. These eaten lines create the image u desire.

What do the numbers mean on the back of a painting or a frame?
When making a print of an original painting, the process involves, in part, metal plates. During the printing process the image on the plate can deteriorate. The artist decides how many prints they can run before this happens. When you see the numbers on a print they will say something to the effect of 30/300. This means that it would be the 30th print out of a total of 300 prints. When purchasing a print, collectors always want to have the earliest prints off of the press to ensure the best quality image. The printing process today is much more sophisticated and can produce hundreds, if not thousands of prints before there is any sign of a poorer quality image. Nowadays, it is in the artist's interest to limit the run of prints from their artwork to keep the value of their prints higher. Supply and demand.
