Brief Explanations:

Engraving in intaglio printmaking is the process where a metal plate is carefully and cleanly scored with a sharp - pointed tool to create lines that will hold ink for printing. Mezzotint uses a roughened plate surface, etching uses acid to bite into the plate, aquatint creates tonal areas with a resin - based process, and drypoint also incises the plate but often has a more spontaneous and less clean scoring compared to engraving.
