Polymer photogravure is a printmaking technique that combines photographic imagery with traditional intaglio processes. A photographic image is first transferred onto a transparent film or directly onto a light-sensitive polymer plate which is then exposed under UV light. After exposure, the plate is washed with water, which removes the unexposed areas, creating an etched surface that retains the image in fine detail. This plate is then inked and run through an etching press onto paper, producing high-quality, richly textured prints that resemble traditional photogravure but with a more environmentally friendly and accessible process.
