We have worked with several artists with diverse requirements to create plates that may be hand drawn, photographically transferred and recreated as a depth map from 3D scans. These images are digitally routed deep into the metal, providing a plate which creates, when passed through the etching press, a powerful blind embossed image upon the paper. There is the capacity for the plate to be inked in the intaglio, be surface rolled, or for both of those methods to be employed simultaneously. This enriches the surface of the image on the paper.
