Are there any rules or suggestions as to when the background should be removed then stippled as opposed to just being stippled?
Thanks!
Thanks!
If the item is going to be handled a lot, you should remove the background and then stipple it. And you should convince the client that it is really worth it.
When you just stipple the background and it gets handled, it will develop high spots which will start to burnish and the results isn't that pretty anymore. When bg is removed, you don't have access to stippled area (theoretically) and it stays stippled/black as it should.

With all due respect to Viljo, this sounds like engraver's salemanship/BS to me.
