Copper Plate Photogravure describes in comprehensive detail the
technique of traditional copper plate photogravure as would be
practiced by visual artists using normally available facilities and
materials. Attention is paid to step-by-step guidance through the
many stages of the process. A detailed manual of technique, Copper
Plate Photogravure also offers the history of the medium and
reference to past alternative methods of practice.
Copper Plate Photogravure: Demystifying the Process is part of the
current revitalization of one of the most satisfyingly beautiful
image-making processes. The range of ink color and paper quality
possibilities is endless. The potential for handwork and alteration
of the copper plate provides yet another realm of expressive
variation. The subject matter and the treatment are as variable and
broad as photography itself. This book's purpose is to demystify
and clarify what is a complex but altogether "do-able"
photomechanical process using currently available materials. With
Copper Plate Photogravure, you will learn how to:
. produce a full-scale film positive from a photographic
negative
. sensitize the gravure tissue to prepare it for exposure to the
positive
. prepare the plate and develop the gelatin resist prior to
etching
. prepare the various strengths of etching solutions and etch the
plate to achieve a full tonal scale
. rework the plate using printmaking tools to correct flaws or to
adjust the image for aesthetic reasons
. use the appropriate printing inks, ink additives, quality papers,
and printshop equipment to produce a high
quality print
A historical survey and appendices of detailed technical
information, charts, and tables are included, as well as a list of
suppliers and sources for the materials required, some of which are
highly specialized. A comprehensive glossary
introduces the non-photographer or non-printmaker to many of the
terms particular to those fields and associated with this process.
* Follow step-by-step basic printing procedures for a photogravure
plate, complete with trouble shooting information
* Valuable information is offered on the materials, procedures, and
printshop equipment
* Study the historical precedents from the invention of photography
to its current commercial use
