Descripción
Printing processes in which the nonprinting areas of the block or plate are carved, engraved, or etched away, leaving the original plane surface raised so that ink is deposited and transferred to paper. Traditionally a woodcut technique, relief printing developed into letterpress for the printing of text and wood engraving to provide accompanying illustrations. It is one of the oldest printing techniques known.
