Engraving is one of the oldest printing techniques known to man. Engraving produces among the sharpest, sweetest, fine, and crisp imagery compared to other types of gravure printing. Basically a substrate is pushed against a recessed plate. The substrate or paper is moistened. Then the pressure of the cylinder pushes the ink from an indented area onto the paper’s surface. Because of the application of pressure, the area being imprinted on is raised which gives it an engraved appearance.
