typogravure (process) (relief halftone (process), photoengraving (process), ... Processes and Techniques (hierarchy name))

 

Note: An early photo reproductive process developed around 1890 in France, using a negative; it was abandoned in favor of simpler halftone screen techniques as they became available. In the typogravure process, the printing plate was cast from a photosensitive gelatin relief, formed when exposed to sunlight through a negative and then washed out. The cast contained many raised peaks of varying sizes from where the gelatin was washed away in relationship to the amount of exposure it received. These peaks could be rolled with ink in the letterpress manner, creating a series of dots that gave the illusion of continuous tone.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Een vroeg procedé voor de reproductie van foto's op basis van een negatief, dat rond de jaren negentig van de 19e eeuw in Frankrijk werd ontwikkeld. Het raakte in onbruik toen eenvoudigere technieken met autotypierasters beschikbaar kwamen. Voor de typogravure werd de drukplaat gegoten uit een lichtgevoelig gelatinereliëf, gevormd door het bloot te stellen aan zonlicht door een negatief en vervolgens uitgewassen. Het afgietsel bevatte veel verhoogde pieken van verschillende grootten, waarvan de gelatine werd weggespoeld in verhouding tot de mate van belichting. Deze pieken konden als bij de boekdruk worden gerold met inkt, waardoor een reeks punten ontstonden die zorgden voor de illusie van tintverloop.
