In relief printmaking, the matrix is a block of wood or linoleum. Using knives and gouges, the artist cuts away lines and areas. When the artist rolls or dabs ink onto the block, the ink adheres only to the surface, skipping over the cut-away areas. Intaglio (from the Italian world to carve) might be considered the reverse of relief printing.The matrix in intaglio is a thin plate of metal (usually zinc or copper), plexiglass, or any other surface in which a line can be engraved. Each intaglio process uses a different method of creating permanent marks on the plate.

Relief is going to create some uneven dimension into the design created on top of the paper (think about the relief maps you used to make in school). Intaglio is going to to create an impression down into the paper to create the design (think about a shoeprint in the mud).
