Zincography - a relief printing graphic technique in which the substrate is a zinc plate, mainly used as a method of industrial printing. In printing, one transfers an image or drawing onto the zinc plate and then etches it with acid. At the beginning of the 20th century, it also began to be used for artistic purposes - after etching the plate, paint is applied with a roller, which on the print gives the effect of a bright, sharp line on a dark background. With the help of zincography, two-color prints can be obtained by rubbing one dye into the concave parts and applying the other with a roller.
