Etching is sometimes used a surface preparation technique prior to electroplating or for removal of metal such as in the printed circuit industry where material not required on the finished product is removed by a chemical solution. It can also be used as an inspection technique due to its ability to accentuate surface cracks and defects.

| etching |
An intaglio technique whereby marks are bitten into the metal plate by chemical action. The plate is coated with a ground (either hard or softground) impervious to acid through which the artist draws to expose the metal. The plate is then immersed in an acid bath until the open lines of areas are sufficiently bitten. Finally, the ground is removed and the plate inked and printed. Etching is commonly used in combination with drypoint, aquatint, and other intaglio processes.
