Advanced studies of Spanish need a Spanish-Spanish dictionary. Bilingual ones will fail you more often.

The Diccionario de la Real Academia (DRAE (http://www.rae.es/)) will help you. :)

"Calcografía (http://lema.rae.es/drae/srv/search?id=KgNirPTAsDXX2CvpVkkl)" is the use of a machine to print with a specific procedure.

As for "sumariar", only "sumario" appears, but the verb means to make a summary of a document or a situation. Many of the verbs ending with "-ar", when they're derived of the use of an object, can be neologisms, and won't be included in the dictionaries, but you can have an idea if you relate the thing that seems to have given origin to the verb. :)
