Question

Which of the following does not come under Intaglio process of printmaking:
(A) Line Etching
(B) Aquatint
(C) Lithography
(D) Dry Point
(E) Serigraphy

• (A) and (B) only
• (C) and (E) only
• (A) and (E) only
• (B) and (D) only

Hint:

Lithography and serigraphy are not intaglio techniques.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Lithography (C) and Serigraphy (E) are not intaglio techniques. Intaglio involves incising designs into a plate, allowing ink to collect in the grooves. Examples of intaglio techniques include:

• Line Etching (A): Uses acid to etch lines into the plate.
• Aquatint (B): Creates tonal effects through acid etching.
• Dry Point (D): Employs a needle to scratch the plate.

Lithography and Serigraphy, however, rely on surface-based techniques, making them distinct from intaglio.
