What is the difference between engraving and embossing?

Embossing is a sister technique to engraving. No ink is used. Paper is pressed between counter and plate. A strong, and permanently raised image is created. The image is delineated by shadow and by feel resulting in a sophisticated design of extraordinary subtlety. In the careful hands of a master craftsman, embossing techniques can create striking, multi-level designs. The image becomes sculptured. The effect is unique and memorable.
