In addition, because of the chemical hazards involved in the manufacture of halftone photoengravings, the IPEUNA was also one of the first unions in the country to provide health insurance and retirement benefits to its members and to compel employers to establish rigorous health and safety standards for the workplace.
But in spite of the many gains that photoengravers realized through their affiliation with the ITU, many nevertheless felt that ITU leadership was indifferent to issues that were of importance to its photoengraving membership.
At a national convention of photoengraving locals that was held in Philadelphia in November 1900, photoengravers from across the country voted together to secede from the ITU and establish their own, autonomous organization -- the International Photo-Engravers' Union of North America.

 Judging the Authenticity of Prints by The Masters by David Cycleback
In the late 1800s to mid 1900s, photoengraving was used to make the images for magazines, newspapers, advertising posters and commercial prints.
Photoengraving can reproduce both solid lines and solid areas of ink and the subtle tones of photographs.
As photoengraving has the rim and can print solid ink when halftone is not used, it can make deceptive reproductions of original woodcuts, wood-engravings and linoleum cuts.

Although the resulting relief surfaces are themselves sometimes used as printing plates, photoengravings normally serve as mold masters for duplicate plates.
In photoengraving, an unexposed light-sensitive material that will dissolve in a detergent or alcohol-based solvent is applied as a thin coating to a thick sheet of etchable metal such as magnesium.
Relief plates require a coating of photopolymer that is at least as thick as the desired relief on the finished plate.
