 | | The positive lines or pits are inked, the negative surface area is wiped clean, and the plate is then placed face-up on a press bed, with the damp paper on top of it, cushioned with felt blankets, and rolled between the press's cylinders under great pressure. |
 | | These presses are used for intaglio printmaking, which includes engraving, etching, dry-point engraving, aquatint, soft-ground etching, lift-ground etching, photo etching and gravure. |
 | | Intaglio presses are also used for relief and monotype prints (which have their image on the surface of a block or plate). |
