Intaglio - Ohan

Japanese: 凹版 - おうはん

In contrast to letterpress printing, this type of printing plate has a recessed image area where ink will be applied, and a raised non-image area. After the entire surface of the plate is inked, the ink on the non-image areas is removed and the ink that has penetrated into the recesses is transferred to the paper. There are gravure printing, which uses photographs, and engraved intaglio printing, which is suitable for printing on banknotes, stamps, and other items that require the reproduction of precise lines. →Lithographic printing →Related topics Printing | Printing press

凸版とは逆に，インキのつく画線部がくぼんでおり，非画線部が突起している印刷の版の形式。版の全面にインキをつけた後，非画線部のインキを除去して，凹部に入り込んだインキを紙へ転写する。写真を利用するグラビア印刷と紙幣・切手など精緻な線の再現を要求される印刷に向く彫刻凹版などがある。→平版
