I covered the sheet metal is painted and engraved coat of paint. Put a sheet in a cell with nitric acid, where there is no ink - Acid grooves made ​​in the grooves is paint. Printing is performed on a special machine, the machine pushes the paint from the grooves on the sheet.

This method is called engraving Etching, Etching is part of the Intaglio family. Intaglio - printing technique where ink is forced out of the grooves.
Here you can see how a person makes an etching - [link]

aren't you afraid of working with all those chemicals, though?

it's trouble. But it's interesting.

for information:

nitric acid and its compounds are hazardous. rubber gloves and a fume hood necessary means of security. Some are neglected and it is silly. in Russia, the first artist (Vasiliy Mate) who was involved in etching died of lung problems.

exist at all safe chemical reagents. iron oxide, for example. but it works very slowly and less accuracy.

can do without chemicals. acting on the sheet mechanically, but it is very long and very very difficult.
