Descripción
A printing process in which tone is added to a major part of the print by sprinkling granulated sugar on the ground while it is still hot and liquid. Once the plate is cold and the sugar has been rinsed away, a random pattern of pits of varied depth is left behind and will create corresponding clusters of black dots on the resulting print.
