Photo engraving is a process of engraving that applies photographic methods. The most common method of photo engraving is when a photosensitive material that is resistant to acid is applied to a metal. This material is known as a photoresist. Once applied, parts of the metal are hardened by light shown through a photographic negative. After removing the unhardened parts by washing the material in a solvent, the photoresist develops. Finally, an acid is used to dissolve parts of the metal.
Another method of photo engraving is used to make intaglio printing plates or for ornamental uses. During this process, a shallow dip in the metal, often copper or brass, is created. Printing plates, foil stamping dies, and embossing dies are made with a third method. During this process, a nitric acid mixture and oil is poured on the metal while it is held face-down, producing a deep engraving with sloped shoulders.
Applications for photo engraving include nameplates, plaques, printing plates, printed circuit boards, foil-stamping dies, and embossing dies. It is used in a variety of industries such as electronics, computer, medical and aerospace.
