'''Etswerk''' is tradisioneel die proses om deur chemiese wegvreting 'n ontwerp in ’n metaalplaat aan te bring. 'n Sterk [[suur]] word gebruik om deur die onbeskermde dele van die metaal te vreet (in die metaal in te byt, word gesê), terwyl die beskermde dele onveranderd gelaat word. Die resultaat is ’n geëtste plaat met 'n ontwerp waarvan baie papierafdrukke met 'n drukpers gemaak kan word.
