Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The intaglio process that employs acid to mar the surface of a metal plate is called etching. In this process, a design is drawn on a wax-coated metal plate, and then the plate is immersed in acid, which eats away the exposed metal to create grooves. The plate is then inked and pressed onto paper to create a print.
