Etching is an intaglio process in which a plate is covered with an acid-resistant layer of wax called an etching ground. The image is then drawn into this surface with an etching needle, the softness of the wax allowing the etched lines to be much freer than those in engraving. The plate is immersed in an acid bath until the acid has bitten into the drawn lines, ready to hold the ink. Finally, the etching ground is removed and the plate is inked and wiped before being passed through an etching press.
