His technique, known as the material print, created deep indentations and heavy layers of ink on paper. Works like Heraldic Goose and Dance on the Wharf demonstrate this tactile quality. Nesch avoided traditional etching acids in favour of physical construction. He manipulated copper wire to define forms and used perforated metal sheets to create patterns. This approach gave his prints a physical presence that differed from standard graphic arts.

Modern collectors value Nesch for his experimental spirit and the physical texture of his work. His prints, such as the Portrait of Mrs. Gauss, Heidenheim or the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian: Triptych, possess a structural quality that suits contemporary interiors. The bold lines and industrial materials provide a sense of weight. These pieces offer a bridge between traditional printmaking and modern sculpture.
