Question 14 • 26/27 INTRO TO ART

When making an intaglio print, ________________

Answer
A
ink is added to the raised areas.
B
the image’s outline is always created with a gouge.
C
ink is added to the engraved grooves.
D
the image is cut into a synthetic surface known as linoleum.

Explanation

In intaglio printing, the image is incised into a plate, creating grooves or recessed lines. Ink is pushed into those grooves, and the surface is wiped clean before printing, so the paper picks up ink from the engraved areas. Therefore, the correct choice is “ink is added to the engraved grooves.”
