Glossary Of Laser Engraving and Cut Terms

Zinc Engraving Zinc engraving is a traditional technique used for creating engraved plates or blocks primarily for printmaking purposes. In zinc engraving, the artist or engraver uses sharp tools to incise lines, textures, and details onto the surface of a zinc plate. These lines and textures hold ink and transfer it onto paper when the plate is pressed against it, resulting in prints with intricate details and fine lines. Zinc engraving plates are durable and can withstand multiple print runs, making them suitable for producing high-quality prints in both artistic and commercial printing applications. |
