Gravure - Aquatint

The work with gravure printing and the further developed technique in the aquatint is laborious and requires great technical knowledge, depending on how many colors you want to use for the finished print.

The impression is taken from depressions in the copper plate - also called copper print. The plate is dyed with a roller or dab - a leather cushion, and the color is wiped away on the high parts. This leaves the color in the depressions.

When printing in a copper printing press, the moistened bucket paper pulls the color up under very high pressure.

Gravure printing is characterized by the fact that the outer outline of the plate appears with a relief imprint in the paper.
