RE: Gravure Pigment Tissue was Fwd: RE: Klaus Pollmeier

Yes, I was about mentioning it... It's not the end, you can still make use
of your equipment.

BUT, photopolymer gravure and copper plate gravure are different in my
understanding:

- With the classic method, you have a malleable / hand workable plate in
case you want to introduce hand work.
- Steel faced copper plates can give you longer print runs. (?)
- You have more plate choices; copper, zinc or steel... Each will give
different / intrinsic results.
- You can get more detail and tones (almost continuous tone) from the
classic method. (?)

-  ... What else according to you all? (And please correct me where I'm
wrong.)

I'm not strictly sure about the lines marked with (?)...

Regards,
Loris.

Marty, 
If all else fails, you might try Polymer Plate Photogravure.
