Gary P. Kolb
  • Photogravure: A Process Handbook

    buy from amazon.com.uk

  • Gravure printing is one of the most beautiful of all photo-reproduction processes. Unlike the dot-screen methods employed by offset lithography, the gravure process layers the ink on the page to create different tones. Though complex, the process can be undertaken by an individual with patience. In this step-by-step guide, Kolb details the process and makes it easily understandable to the beginner. This is the first comprehensive manual on the subject in 95 years and as such is a valuable contribution to the medium. Southern Illinois University Press, Carbondale, 1986. 188 pp., 8x10".
