Etching, (etching, carborundum, linocut, woodcut, etc...) is a generic term for techniques that use incision or digging on a plate whose material depends on the technique (metal, wood, linoleum, etc...) to produce an image. This plate, which could be called a "matrix", is then inked and pressed to create several copies of the engraved image.
