Drypoint is a form of intaglio printmaking, where ink wiped into the grooves and indentations of a printmaking plate is transferred onto paper. Printing a drypoint is similar to printing an etching, but a drypoint can be made with minimal tools and without harsh chemicals. It’s not clear when printing on cardboard started but it’s a result of so many artists’ experiments.

For the artist Mary Abuzaid, using cardboard printing was ideal as I get to use the extra materials left around at the studio and it’s definitely saving me time and effort.
