Copper plates cant be copied with this method. Copper Engravings are less durable than woodblocks. Editions are usually smaller and more expensive than books illustrated with woodcuts because the intaglio illustrations have to be printed separately after the text. Woodcuts are the same printing technique and are printed with the text.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Large print runs with intaglio prints where possible after the invention of steel engravings or the steel coating of copper plates.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
