Drypoint is an intaglio process in which lines are drawn directly into a metal plate with a sharp-pointed tool called a drypoint needle. The ridges of displaced metal, known as burr, cling to the edges of the incised lines. When the plate is inked and passed through a press, the burr creates a fuzzy, velvety effect at the edges of the lines.
