Intaglio cylinders are the reverse of letterpress; they have tiny depressions or wells that are filled with ink to be transferred to the paper, while the non-printing areas are scraped clean of ink before the plate contacts the paper.

  • Impression en creux (héliogravure)
DEF

Genre de cylindre utilisé en héliogravure sur lequel la matière est gravée directement.
