Crossword Genius

Attractive to ignore fine print (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

etching

'print' is the definition.
(etching is a kind of print)

'attractive to ignore fine' is the wordplay.
'attractive' becomes 'fetching' (similar in meaning).
'to ignore' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'fetching' with 'f' taken away is 'ETCHING'.

(Other definitions for etching that I've seen before include "making an impression" , "Eating away; corroding" , "Drawing on metal with acid" , "Carving into a surface" , "Engraved artwork" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
