2. The artist daubs the plate with ink and then wipes the surface so that ink only remains in the grooves.
3. Damp paper is placed on the ink plate and passes beneath a press roller.
4. As it is pressed, the paper picks up the ink and the grooves, resulting in a printed image that is the reverse of the design on the matrix.
