If you think it's not appropriate for this thread, you could post somewhere else or by email. But maybe it's not only interesting for myself
Peter and Chassis, thank you for your interest.
Indeed for a detailled description of workflow this would be the wrong thread. I work alone only, but detail questions (PM) are no problem.
There are different procedures called photogravure; I work the classic way (copperplate and asphalt-aquatinta) such as described here:
www.photogravure.com
Personally I learned most from Lothar Osterburg, who is an excellent teacher. He gives courses in brooklyn

There are newer ways of gravure using solarplates or puretch- folie, I have no experience with these
http://www.alternativephotography.co...ef-description. But I do the inter-positives via inkjet sometimes.
Anyway you need a strong etching press, a good working place and some time for training. UV-light and contact frame may be low-budget.
