metal cut
metal cut. A print made from a metal plate in which the parts of the design that take the ink are raised in relief (as in a woodcut) rather than incised into the plate as in a line engraving. Prints done in the manière criblée are examples of the type and William Blake used a personal version of the technique in his illuminated books.
