Photo-engraving is a commonly used term in the printing industry referring to the process of creating a printing plate from a photographic negative. Its antonyms, on the other hand, include terms that describe alternative printing methods. One such antonym is letterpress, which involves pressing ink onto paper using a raised metal or wood block that has been carved with the desired design. Another antonym is offset printing, which uses a rubber blanket to transfer the ink from the plate onto the paper. Digital printing is another option, which involves using a digital file to print directly onto the paper. While photo-engraving is still used in certain contexts, modern printing techniques have made these antonyms increasingly popular.
