Re: Polymer Photogravure blarchive
Thanks! I think that may be all I need to at least give it a shot. It looks like the DR of the KM73 plate is 11 steps, or 11*.15=1.65. That sounds consistent with what I was doing last summer in a traditional copper gravure workshop I took with Jon Goodman. In that workshop, we aimed for interpositives with highlights at 0.5 and shadows at 2.0 for a nice complete full range etch. Do you like having some 'tooth' in your highlights? That is one of the advantages we are finding for this particular approach: you can easily create a curve that puts some ink and texture even in the thinner areas of the inkjet transparency. > Just came across this archive of info on someone's website who was > studying Polymer Photogravure.
