Re: Hmmm... Toyobo Printight KM43 vs KM73 for "photogravure"
I've tried polymer plates and made a few prints with fairly coarse texture (from Photoshop output of "mezzotint" or "screened" monochrome images). This was done without a vacuum frame, and worked fine. I'd like to try the fine grain gravure with a 1200 dpi screen that you are discussing - but before spending out for a fine screen, is this possible without a full vacuum frame to ensure the fine screen is in total contact?
