In-tagl′io-type.

A process allied to the graphotype and depending upon the production of a friable surface of oxide of zinc on a metallic plate under hydraulic pressure. Upon this lines are drawn with an oleaginous ink, the object of which is to repel a watery solution subsequently applied. A solution of chloride of zinc or analogous salt is washed over it and hardens the surface not protected by the oil. After drying, the surface is brushed over, and the bristles or velvet remove the oxide and ink, leaving an intaglio impression, from which castings may be made in the electro-bath or by stereotyping.
