Polymer Photogravure: A Step-by-Step Manual Highlighting Artists
and Their Creative Practice is a three-part book on the non-toxic
process of making ink-on-paper intaglio prints from continuous-tone
photographs using water-etched photopolymer plates. Author Clay
Harmon provides clear and easy to understand instructions that will
enable anyone to successfully make a photogravure print. By
quantifying the sensitometric behavior of polymer plates, Harmon
has developed a methodical approach which will enable a new
printmaker to produce plates in their own studio with a minimum of
time and wasted materials. Section One provides a straightforward
guide to setting up the polymer photogravure studio. Section Two
covers a step-by-step method of making the print from start to
finish. Section Three showcases contemporary artists' works,
illustrating the variety and artistic breadth of contemporary
polymer intaglio printmaking. The works in these pages range from
monochrome to full color, and represent a variety of genres,
including still lifes, portraits, nudes, landscapes, urban-scapes
and more. Featuring over 30 artists and 200 full-color images,
Polymer Photogravure is a most comprehensive overview of this
printmaking process in print. Key topics covered include: Studio
safety Equipment and supplies, evaluated from both a cost and
utility point of view A brief discussion of the types of ink-based
printing Aquatint screen considerations Image preparation and
positive printing on inkjet printers Paper preparation A simple and
efficient polymer plate calibration process that minimizes wasted
time and materials A straightforward inking, wiping and printing
method Advanced printing techniques such as chine colle, a la
poupee, and printing on wood Troubleshooting guide to platemaking
and printing problems Tips on editioning and portfolios A visual
survey of the range of artistic expression practiced by
contemporary artists Sources for supplies and recommended reading
Polymer photogravure plates enable an artist to use an
almost-infinite range of image color and papers to make a print.
The finished prints are extremely archival, consisting of only ink
and paper. With Harmon's instructions, continuous tone intaglio
prints are within the reach of all.
