Boost. C'mon guys, photographers have been waiting 100 years for this gigantic advancement. Your blind, arthritic aunt Tillie can make photogravures with this approach.
If they haven't been waiting...
More apologies for not seeing this sooner. The inkjet dither is perfection. Never a single problem, EVER!!
Sorry for the delay in responding. I just don't get notices even though I have set it up to do so.

In the early 1990's I published a 4-part series of articles on contrast reduction (contraction) in "Darkroom & Creative Camera Techniques" magazine. (I published a lot of articles, but this series is...
Direct-to-Plate means that instead of making an enlarged film positive (the films used to make positives for the photogravure process no longer exist), a temporary positive image is printed directly...
