The printing process that uses only serrated edges and is an intaglio printing process is called drypoint. Drypoint involves scratching an image onto a plate using a sharp instrument, creating a burr along the edges that hold the ink during printing, resulting in a characteristic fuzzy line quality.
The two most common types of relief printing are the intaglio and the planographic. Intaglio inks the entire matrix and is just wiped away after the fact. Planographic only some of the areas of the flat matrix are treated.
An intaglio plate, more commonly referred to as an etching plate in the United States, is a metal plate (usually zinc or copper) which has been coated with a resistant substance, draw upon with a sharp stylus (breaking through the coating), and then etched in acid to create lines within the plate. Ink is then forced into the grooves within the plate; under pressure the plate will release the ink unto dampened paper, creating an "etching" or "intaglio" print. Side note - roughly translated, "intaglio" is Italian for "within the surface."
Intaglio: image is etched into the surface, smeared with ink (which sticks in the recessed areas), and (using damp paper) put through a press. The ink is transferred from the recessed areas to the paper. Relief: Pretty much the opposite; the parts you don't want are carved away, ink rolled on, and dry paper pressed onto it. In layman's terms, it's a big stamp.
Intaglio, which is the family of printing and printmaking techniques in which the image is incised into a surface, and the incised line or sunken area holds the ink, was developed after the invention of the printing press.
