Albrecht Dürer, from A World of Art, seventh edition.
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."
The artist is creating a type of intaglio print known as etching. In this process, the needle removes the varnish to expose the metal beneath, which is then treated with acid to create the design. The acid bites into the exposed metal, allowing for the creation of intricate lines and textures when inked and printed.

The oldest form of intaglio printmaking is known as "engraving," which dates back to the 15th century. This technique involves incising a design onto a metal plate, typically using a burin or engraving tool. Early examples of engraving can be found in works by artists like Albrecht Dürer. The process laid the groundwork for later intaglio methods such as etching and aquatint.

What else can you use as a template on intaglio printings
The process you are referring to is called "intaglio printing." It involves creating an image by incising grooves into a metal plate, filling the grooves with ink, wiping the surface clean, and then pressing paper onto the plate to transfer the ink onto the paper.
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.

intaglio printing
Yes, intaglio is considered the opposite of relief printing. In relief printing, the image is raised above the surface, and ink is applied to the raised areas, while in intaglio, the image is incised into a surface, and ink fills the recessed lines or grooves. When printed, relief methods produce an image that stands out, whereas intaglio produces an image that is sunken or embedded. Both techniques offer unique artistic effects and are widely used in printmaking.
