What is the Difference Between Lithography and Etching
on September 16, 2022




Introduction
Lithography is a type of printing that uses oil-based ink to transfer an image onto a plate. The plate is then pressed against paper, which absorbs the ink and transfers it to the page. Etching is a similar process in which an artist makes marks on metal plates, exposing the metal and allowing acid to eat away at the surface, creating new textures and marks in the metal.

Plus Wikipedia:
Etching is traditionally the process of using strong acid or mordant to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design in intaglio (incised) in the metal.[1] In modern manufacturing, other chemicals may be used on other types of material. As a method of printmaking, it is, along with engraving, the most important technique for old master prints, and remains in wide use today. In a number of modern variants such as microfabrication etching and photochemical milling, it is a crucial technique in modern technology, including circuit boards.
