Titel: Test | Format: divers | Technik: Photopolymer | Material: Aquarelle paper<br />

The etching process was invented by the German artist Daniel Hopfer 1470-1536, etching -<br />

along with engraving mezzotint and aquatint - is one of the intaglio methods of fine art printing.<br />

In traditional etching, a metal plate, usually made from copper, zinc or steel, is coated with a<br />

waxy acid-resistant substance called ‚ground‘ upon which the artist draws his design with a<br />

metal needle, exposing the bare metal as he does so.<br />

I use my analog pictures and transfer them to a plate covered with a photopolymer film. Which<br />

then I can print on a large printing press.
