About this lesson
The Louvre's own engraving workshop explains its six-stage process for printing engraved copperplates: heated-table inking with a leather pad, tarlatan wiping, the traditional hand-palm 'paumage' final wipe, damp-paper printing under a cylinder press, 48-hour drying, and certification stamping.
