The picture is reproduced on paper and usually allows to perform a series of recordings in which repeats the recorded image.
In the picture called nontoxic, perform practically the same procedures of changing the traditional engraving materials harmful to health and the environment by others who are not. For example replace the solvents by water, the acid by salts such as ferric chloride and so on.
* "Colatex" is a printmaking technique developed by Ana Bellido Zambrano consisting in bonding various materials on a support, which is then covered with silver and printed.
