Photogravure Engravers
Photogravure engravers are responsible for the reproduction of all material on a copper plate, which is used in the deep printing process. They use cameras and screens to photograph the material (this may include photographs, text that has been set, line drawings, etc) to be reproduced. They develop a negative and then a positive on a transparent light sensitive celluloid or plastic material, which is placed beneath pigmented paper in a frame. The pigmented paper is finally transposed on to a slowly rotating copper cylinder in a trough containing hot water to develop the image or picture. A photogravure engraver may also develop colour photographs by using three separate colour filters.
