Descripción
Refers to modern prints produced by the sand-grain mezzotint process, by which a mezzotint-like tone is achieved from sandpaper grain. The process was developed in the 20th century as a way to avoid the laborious process of rocking the plate. Such prints will have the general quality of a mezzotint but will not show in the lighter areas the straight lines of the rocker's serrated edge.
