learning photogravure

Nick, did you get your question(s) answered? Also, where do you live?

Last month I did a photopolymer gravure workshop with Mark Nelson and Paul Taylor in New Hampshire. This is the modern variant of the traditional copperplate photogravure.

Regards, David.

I know this is an old thread, but this error is too glaring to ignore. Joe VanCleave said: " It might help to work with a local printmaking shop, the type that use etching presses, since after the copper plate is properly made it's mechanical reproduction."
I started working with polymer plate photogravure fairly recently. Under no circumstances can one REMOTELY say that "after the copper plate is properly made it's mechanical reproduction". There is a sea of possibilities in the way a plate can be printed. Nothing "mechanical" about it, whatsoever!
