The history of Chalcography
The technique emerged in the 15th century, as the art of engraving on copper or other metal. It happens through various processes, the oldest being engraving done directly on the metal with a steel instrument called a burin.
The emergence of new needs promoted the development of the chalcography technique, which began to be used by the printing industry as a means of producing books and newspapers.
Currently, chalcography is a process that requires adequate infrastructure, with certain types of equipment and with technology as the basis for developing security printing solutions.
