Cynthia Back uses a wide variety of intaglio techniques. Color plays an important role in her work. She uses several plates with areas of overlapping color, as well as viscosity printing, applying color inked rollers on top of an inked plate, to achieve a range of hues and values. Her prints use simple motifs to suggest natural forms and suburban landscapes. They comment on the spread of suburban environments and the subsequent destruction of habitats farms and forests and the homogenization of suburban growth, strip malls and roads.
