      4. <skos:note xml:lang="en">A printing process developed in the 20th century in which mezzotint-like tone is achieved from sandpaper grain. The process was developed as a way to avoid the laborious process of rocking the plate. The plate is passed through the press several times with a sheet of sandpaper; the grains of sand physically displace dots of copper, forming ink-retaining burrs.</skos:note>
