photo-gravure

listen to the pronunciation of photo-gravure
İngilizce - İngilizce
method of printing in which ink is absorbed in low-lying areas on the paper
photogravure
French for “photo engraving,” this is an etching method used to reproduce photographs A copper plate is covered with material that hardens upon exposure to light The plate can be exposed by shining light through a negative as if the plate is photographic paper Any material not struck by light remains soft and is washed away The exposed area of the copper plate is etched in an acid bath, and inked and printed, transferring the original image onto paper The copper plate can be inked and printed over and over, making it a good method for reproducing images in large quantities Photogravures have a slightly grainy quality that pleased Alfred Stieglitz and other pictorialists, and most of the photos in Camera Work are reproduced by this process
photogravure
using photography to produce a plate for printing printing from an intaglio plate prepared by photographic methods
photogravure
printing from an intaglio plate prepared by photographic methods
photogravure
A process using a bichromated gelatin tissue on a copper plate The exposed and selectively hardened layer controls the penetration of an etching solution, so that the printing plate is etched to different depths After inking, the plate is printed in the usual intaglio manner See also gravure
photogravure
A print so made
photogravure
Prints made with a copper plate (produced from a negative) that is chemically etched to different depths in proportion to the darkness of the image in the original Ink is used and the pressing on paper often leaves an indented plate mark around the image They are most often hand-pulled and were used by Paul Strand in The Mexican Portfolio
photogravure
> A photomechanical process, based on the printmaking technique of intaglio A copper plate is coated with a light-sensitive gelatin tissue, exposed to a negative and then etched The result is a high quality print reproducing the continuous tones of a photograph
photogravure
Printing by intaglio process from plates made by photography and etching
photogravure
An intaglio process for printing photographic reproductions in newspapers and books
photogravure
A photomechanical process that reproduces all gradations of black through white on an intaglio metal plate The process produces a finer image than half-tone block and photoengraving Stieglitz used photogravure to reproduce the facsimile photographs for Camera Work Photogravures are sometimes referred to as heliogravures
photogravure
An intaglio printing process in which the image has been placed on the plate by photographic means using carbon tissue top
photogravure
an intaglio print produced by gravure
photogravure
A photomechanical process invented in 1879 for fine printing An image is transfered to a copper plate which is chemically etched For each print the plate is hand-inked
photogravure
An engraving process in which the design is photographically transferred to a metal plate through a halftone screen that breaks the reproduction into a series of tiny dots When the plate is chemically treated, the dots form depressions of verying depths (depending on the degree of shading in the design) from which the ink is transferred to the paper
photogravure
using photography to produce a plate for printing
photogravure
A modern stamp-printing process that is a form of intaglio printing Plates are made photographically and chemically, rather than by hand engraving a die and transferring it to a plate The ink in this process rests in the design depressions The surface of the printing plate is wiped clean The paper is forced into the depressions and picks up the ink, in a manner much like the line-engraved printing process
photogravure
A photomechanical process, based on the printmaking technique of Intaglio A copper plate is coated with a light-sensitive gelatin tissue, exposed to a negative, and then etched The result is a high quality print reproducing the continuous tones of a photograph
photogravure
A photoengraving; also, the process by which such a picture is produced
photogravure
The hand-pulled gravure is one of the most beautiful ink processes for reproducing photographs Alfred Stieglitz and other Photo-Secessionists photographers used it for the illustrations in the early photographic journal Camera Work Photogravure is particularly suited to reproduce platinum prints and could be mistaken for platinum by the untrained eye They are made with a copper plate which often leaves a indented or debossed plate mark around the image
