Photo Etching:

The process involves exposing ultraviolet (UV) light through a film positive of the artwork or photograph onto a pre-coated polymer plate. After exposure, the unexposed areas are rinsed away, revealing a relief or intaglio surface ready for inking and printing. Photopolymer plates provide a safer, eco-friendly alternative to traditional acid etching while enabling artists to create precise, high-resolution prints rich in texture and fine detail.
