Printing a Photogravure



http://youtu.be/0HkvxnO22s4

This plate is very cooperative, with a good aquatint and an image that had a lot of texture, so the processing time was quick.  Some plates take 3 to 4 times as long to ink and wipe.

***Update  (Dec 2013)***
I wrote a book about this process, from plate-making to printing.
It is available on Amazon through this link.
