The beauty of intaglio prints is that they have a particular black color that is very hard to get from any other types of printing.  The etched brass plate is pressed into the paper so the paper can absorb the ink creating a much richer black, instead of being printed on top of the paper. Most intaglio prints are etched out by hand so I wanted a way to print one of my photos with this method. I experimented with trying to halftone an image onto a brass plate. The screen-printed ink acted as a stop out for the acid etching. My new twist to intaglio prints was successful.
