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

Intaglio is a printing method where designs are incised into a plate, allowing ink to collect in the grooves. Key intaglio techniques include:

• Line Etching (A): Lines are etched into the plate with acid.
• Aquatint (B): Acid etching creates tonal effects.
• Dry Point (D): A needle is used to scratch the plate.

Conversely, Lithography (C) and Serigraphy (E) are not intaglio techniques; they rely on surface-based methods.
