An etching technique characterized by the control of tonal areas that produces an unlimited series of gradations from pale gray to velvety black and a pleasing granular effect. 2, record 1, English, - aquatint
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The medium of aquatint is related to etching, but concerned with areas of tone rather than line. The plate is dusted with powdered asphalt (or resin); the coarseness of the grain is determined by the effects desired. The plate is then heated so that the asphalt particles adhere to the copper. The melted asphalt protects the copper when the plate is immersed in the acid bath; only the copper exposed between the asphalt deposits is bitten. The longer the biting, the darker the tonal areas will print. Areas not to be etched are protected ("stopped out") with an asphalt varnish. 3, record 1, English, - aquatint

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Apparentée à l'eau-forte, l'aquatinte concerne davantage la tonalité que la qualité du trait. La planche de zinc ou de cuivre est recouverte d’une couche de colophane(ou résine) pulvérisée, la grosseur du grain étant déterminée par les effets que l'artiste recherche. La planche est ensuite chauffée pour que la résine se fixe au métal et le protège avant que la planche ne soit plongée dans la cuvette d’acide; seul est alors mordu le métal mis à nu entre les grains de résine. Plus la morsure est longue, plus les tons sont foncés à l'impression. Les parties qui doivent rester blanches sont épargnées au moyen d’un vernis de retouche. 4, record 1, French, - aquatinte

The plate is first covered with an acid-resistant resinous substance. The artist then takes a finely pointed needle and draws the design out of this resinous ground. The drawing instrument does not cut into the metal surface. The image which will print is represented by the areas in which the copper of the plate has been exposed. The plate is then immersed in an acid bath. The acid eats into the plate only in those areas not protected by the ground. The length of time the plate remains in the acid bath determines the depth of the etched lines. 3, record 3, English, - etching

A relief printing process, that is a kind of reverse engraving procedure, in which the entire surface of a copper or steel plate is heavily abraded with a special tool called a rocker, or cradle. The over-all burr thus created prints as a dark, velvety black. The areas to be white in the print are painstakingly rubbed with a burnisher and an engraver's scraper, which smooth and depress those areas so that they do not take the ink in relief printing. ... For half-tones ..., the burr is only partially removed with the scraper or burnisher, leaving areas of variously concentrated dots. 3, record 4, English, - mezzotint

Le mezzotinte [...] ou manière noire, est un procédé de gravure en creux. La planche de cuivre est dépolie à l'aide d’un berceau; la surface légèrement rugueuse retient l'encre; l'épreuve est alors entièrement noire. Le graveur polit ensuite plus ou moins certaines parties du brunissoir, ce qui lui permet d’obtenir toute la gamme des valeurs du noir au blanc. Parfois, le trait est gravé à l'eau-forte ou au burin avant l'application du mezzotinte, ou même après. 1, record 4, French, - mezzotinte

The artist begins by painting the metal plate with a solution of sugar and black ink. The entire plate is then coated with an acid-resistant varnish. When the plate is immersed in warm water, the sugar mixture melts, lifting away part of the varnish. The plate is then grained for texture ... and dipped in acid. Where the varnish has been lifted, the acid bites into the plate. In printing, ink gathers in this etched area and creates a rich black tone on the paper. 2, record 5, English, - lift%2Dground%20etching

Ce procédé, apparenté à l'aquatinte, diffère cependant de l'aquatinte normale où le trait est délimité par une couche de vernis protecteur ;ici, le pinceau de l'artiste retrouve son rôle premier. Pour dessiner l'image sur la planche, le graveur trempe un pinceau dans un liquide visqueux(généralement une solution saturée de sucre ou du sirop de maïs). Quant le dessin est sec, l'artiste recouvre toute la surface de la planche d’une couche de vernis pour eau-forte(vernis dur). Lorsque le vernis est sec, il plonge la planche dans un bain d’eau chaude qui fait gonfler le sucre et soulève le vernis, laissant à nu le motif, tandis que le reste de la planche conserve son vernis. Il recouvre ensuite d’une aquatinte les parties mises à nu et procède à la morsure. 1, record 5, French, - gravure%20dite%20au%20sucre

Most parts of Canadian bank notes are printed by two processes: intaglio printing and lithography. Intaglio printing is a process which involves portions of the design being hand-engraved or etched in steel. It produces an embossed effect which can be felt on all but worn bank notes. Lithographic printing provides the smooth, multicoloured portion of the design. 1, record 9, English, - printing
