- Drypoint is a printmaking technique in the intaglio family, a category in which an image is etched into a plate, and the incised line holds the ink that will be transferred to the final print.
- This type of line differentiates drypoint from other intaglio methods such as etching or engraving, which produce smooth, hard-edged lines.
- Printing is essentially the same as with other intaglio techniques, but extra care is taken to preserve the burr.
- Some printmakers will use their hands in this step, because the burrs forming the image are more fragile than etched or engraved lines.
-
