Scratchboard, or scraperboard, today is considered one of the best illustration solutions when printing in newspapers. It's clearly defined edges and solid mode adapt well to the conditions of the absorbent stock and dodgy registration. Scatchboard lends itself to ethnic or primitive themed subjects, it can be styled to look like linocut or woodcarving. As a spot illustration it complements photography. We like to see it in a deep etched format where the negative areas flow into the illustration area itself, binding it harmoniously to the page surface.
