Etching presses are used in printmaking to produce etchings, woodcuts, and collagraph prints. For example, when working in the printmaking process of woodcut, the artist will carve into a plate made of wood to make an image. The artist will then roll ink onto the wood block, lay the block on the press bed, lay down a sheet of paper, and roll it through the press. As pressure is added to the plate, the ink is transferred onto the paper and the print is made.Galleries:Hillsborough, PrintmakingKeywords:art, etching, printing, printmaking, south floridaPhoto Location: University of South Florida Print Shop, Tampa, FLPhotographer: Dr. Roy WinkelmanDate of Photo: 03/08/2011Device Make: CanonDevice Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark IIOriginal Dimensions: 5616×3744Picture Orientation: LandscapeGPS Coordinates: 28°3'16.5269"N 82°24'49.4262"WPicture Number: 4333
