Photogravure Printing (in real time)

The entire process of inking and printing a photogravure plate (polymer).

This plate has a great aquatint and cooperative edges, making the process much faster than many other plates, so it was a good candidate for a real-time video of the printing process. Some of the more sensitive images take 3 or 4 times as long to print.

Some of the techniques I use in this video are not traditional. Much of my workflow is self-taught.

The image is part of the first suite of prints from the Grand Canyon Gravure project.
