<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 714323, member: 4703&quot;]Prossibly not from a picture, but in hand it is fairly simple.&nbsp; Engraved notes have a different feel because of the printing method.&nbsp; Under magnification it is often possible to distinguish the printing method, as any large printed area will consist of many fine lines on an engraved note, and look like a single area of coloration on a lithographed one.</p><p><br /></p><p>For engraved notes lines are engraved on a plate, which is then inked and wiped clean, leaving ink in the incised lines. The plate is printed with great pressure, usually through a set of rollers, so that the dampened paper will absorb all the ink from the lines in the plate. This results in a raising of the inked lines, which can be felt when holding the note.</p><p><br /></p><p>In lithography a plate is treated so that ink will adhere to only the parts which are intended to be printed in a given color.&nbsp; That plate is then applied to the paper with pressure that permits the ink to be transferred.&nbsp; The result is a smooth-feeling paper.</p><p><br /></p><p>In both procedures a single plate carries only one color, and multi-color printing requires either multiple press runs, or multiple printing areas on a web press.&nbsp; Precise registration of the paper is critical to the success of either method.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
