"Etching" refers to the etched metal printing plate used to print the image: the design is literally burned into the plate using acid. This is a very laborious and extremely skilled process. The etched plate is then run through an etching press in contact with a sheet of damp paper. The press exterts thousands of pounds of pressure onto the plate, squeezing the ink from the etched surface and onto the paper. It also physically embosses the shape of the plate into the paper.
