	Photogravure Printing Process
		A photogravure is a photographic image produced from an engraving plate.
		A photogravure looks like a photograph but is a series of connected lines, rather than unconnected dots as in a photograph.
		PLACING THE PAPER ON THE PLATE-The photogravure process is one in which ink from the plate is forced from the grooves onto the paper by the pressure of the press.

	Notes on polymer photogravure, by Strange Ross (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Polymer photogravure (or photopolymer gravure) is a nontoxic technique by which it is possible, from regular photographic negatives, to produce intaglio prints.
		Although the photogravure process cannot produce the extremely white tones of photographic papers incorporating "optic white", it does produce a full range of tones from the white of the paper base itself to a deep, velvety fl (depending on the tone of the printing ink).
		Since the photogravure process is able to produce very subtle differences in tone, the felt employed in the printing press may transfer an image of its structure to the print, which proved to be the case for the possibly not absolutely topnotch felt I am using.

	Photogravure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the late 19th century and early 20th century photograuvure was frequently used for reproducing a photograph in a book or magazine.
		Though it is no longer widely used, its primary use today is for reproducing fine art photographs.

		The history of photogravure is inextricably tied to that of photography.
		While photogravure, and later, rotogravure, were used to commercially reproduce images, apparently artists were drawn to photogravure from the beginning.
		Photogravure is not a solitary process, at least for us.

	The Process of Photogravure - Coup de Foudre, LLC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The photogravure process was developed in the 1850s, and involves producing a photographic image from an engraving plate to create a print that has the subtlety of a photograph and the aesthetic quality of a lithograph.
		Meanwhile, the paper onto which the photogravure is to be applied must be cut, uniformly dampened, and stored in that condition in order to provide the ideal printing surface.
		Though a photogravure looks like a photograph, it is actually a series of connected lines, unlike the disconnected dots that make up a photograph.

	Technique of Intaglio Photogravure Printmaking
		They are immediately distinguishable from the other two types by their platemark, resulting from the pressure of drawing the ink out of the recess of the plate and into the paper.
		In a gravure print (also known as photogravure, héliogravure, or gravure à l'aquatinte), the tones and variations in light and shadow, and the textures of various surfaces, are the distinguishing features.
		The unique look of photogravure depends on the variable depth of the etching, the ability of the copperplate to transfer far more ink to the shadows than to the highlights of the print, and to register subtle gradation of tone.

		Swan, and Karl Klic, the photogravure process was popularized by Alfred Stieglitz, Edward S. Curtis, and Paul Strand.
		He chose photogravure because he thought is was the only high quality alternative to making 5,000 platinum prints.
		One uncommon aspect of Strand's photogravures was that he insisted on making the film positives needed for exposing the printing plates himself, rather than rely on the printers to do so.

	GRAPHICSTUDIO - Mapplethorpe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Robert Mapplethorpe came to collaborate at Graphicstudio intrigued by the possibilities of photogravure, an almost forgotten 19th century photographic process that the studio had begun to research and revitalize in the 1980s.
		Photogravure's range of tones and shadow detail was ideal for the interpretation of Mapplethorpe's exquisite figure study and still-life photography, and he was open to experimentation with color and texture.
		The fl flower remains anchored on its dense nonreflective photogravure background, while the blue flower floats on a screenprinting of glittery silver.

		This 19th-century process was totally new to me. However, after completing a grand tour of Peter's modest workshop and darkroom at his home in Kamakura, Tokyo in 1997, I was able to grasp a better picture of this rare art form.
		Unlike woodcuts where the raised parts are inked and the crevices are empty of ink, photogravure plates work in the opposite way.
		The etched crevices hold the ink and the raised "lands" are almost devoid of ink.

		Photogravure is a true continuous tone photographic etching process.
		This way the photogravure is capable of producing a much wider range of tones than any other photographic process, from a deep velvety fl to sensitive, bright highlights.
		Paul Strand considered photogravure perfectly suited for his work because of the technique's capacity to achieve the almost infinite tonal values which lie beyond the human hand.

		Alfred Stieglitz is often called the father of modern photography because of his driving force in the fight to have photography recognized as an art form.
		The editions were small and the reproductions were remarkably faithful to the original print, both in tone and texture.
		Stieglitz described the photogravures as "suitable for framing." Camera Work was also a leader in printing critical thought on art by George Bernard Shaw, Gertrude Stein, Sadakichi Hartmann, and Mabel Dodge.

	Illustrated Book Study: Digital Conversion Requirements Printed Illustrations (Preservation, Library of Congress)
		For those items that were continuous tone-like, exhibiting soft grainy, dotted, or pebbly structures (e.g., the photogravure, mezzotint, and lithograph), feature details were hard to characterize and measure.
		In the photogravure, the detail is so fine (evident only at 50x magnification) that the deposit of ink appears translucent, perhaps allowing some of the light of the paper support to shine through, thus introducing a gray appearance to the fl medium.
		The photogravure, which conveys tonality rivaling photographic prints, was well reproduced even at 150 dpi on the Tektronix.
