- Print produced by an engraving that has been scraped to represent light or shade
- Mezzotint is a printmaking process of the intaglio family, technically a drypoint method. It was the first tonal method to be used, enabling half-tones to be produced without using line- or dot-based techniques like hatching, cross-hatching or stipple. ...
- An intaglio process invented around 1650 that allows the printing of rich tonal areas of black and grey. The mezzotint process begins by texturing a metal plate in such a way that it will hold a great deal of ink and print a solid black field. This is done with a tool called a "rocker. ...
- A method of engraving on copper or steel by burnishing or scraping away a uniformly roughened surface, also called "brush" or "Florentine" finish; derived "middle + color"; compare stipple, tesselate, reticulate. Also, a print produced from a plate made by this method. ...
