Intaglio / Chalcography
Intaglio printing is used for the production of high-security documents. The images printed through intaglio are tactile and can be verified by touch, since the ink rises above the surface of the paper. The use of intaglio printing and its equipment is highly restricted and reserved for high-security printing companies.
