What is another word for Electrotyping?
Pronunciation: [ɪlˌɛktɹə͡ʊtˈa͡ɪpɪŋ] (IPA) 
Electrotyping is the process of producing a duplicate metal printing plate by electrolysis. There are several synonyms for this process, including stereotyping, galvanoplasty, electroplating, and electroforming. Stereotyping involves making a metal plate by pressing wet paper into a mold to create a negative image, then pouring molten metal into the mold to create a positive image. Galvanoplasty is a similar process that involves using an electric current to deposit metal ions onto a surface, which can then be used to create a printing plate. Electroplating is the process of using an electric current to deposit a thin layer of metal onto a substrate, while electroforming involves the creation of a metal object by electrodeposition onto a master surface.
