Mezzotint A printmaking technique developed in the 16th century in Germany. A subgenre of Engraving, mezzotints use a copper plate that is first roughened with a special tool. The image is then formed using a burnisher to smooth areas of the surface to varying degrees. The rougher areas hold more ink than the smooth areas, so when the paper is pressed to the plate, many different densities are achieved.
