Engraving starts from the "plate", from the selection of raw materials for the plate, as well as the corresponding pretreatment method for the plate, according to the shape, size and thickness required for the final engraving, adjust and stabilize its physical properties to prepare the "plate" to become the engraving "plate".

Engraving-plate

Carving before the general first through the sample, the sample attached to the layout, so that the engraving has a sample to follow. Engraving methods are divided into Yin and Yang engraving, Yang engraving and engraving according to the Yin and Yang effect that the final impression wants to achieve; Accordingly, the results of block engraving can be divided into intaglio plate, relief plate and hollow plate.

engraving-Carving

The shape of the block can be customized according to the purpose, use mode, application scenario, and the form is not limited. The surface on which images and texts are engraved and printed is called a layout. The presentation form of the layout can also be designed according to the size of the plate and the needs of use, in order to improve the utilization rate of the plate and the efficiency of replication.

engraving-layout

Before the official printing, it is often necessary to apply red or blue color on the engraved page first, and then lay paper and brush to check whether the engraved version is wrong. If there is any mistake, repair it in time, and wait for it to be correct before formally painting black ink paper. The reason why this process is called printing is that the text, sidebar, boundary line, elephant trunk, fish tail have been inked on the engraving plate, and then covered with paper. In order to make the calligraphy and painting, column lines, etc. can be printed on the paper, it is necessary to use a moderate soft and hard brown brush or brush to brush the back of the paper, so that the calligraphy and painting, column lines, etc., can be printed.
