3 Colour Photogravure, how it looks

Okay, so in my last post I talked about the process, but let’s look a bit more up close and see how it comes together.

First, the colour separations:

Yellow Separation, made through Wratten 47 filter

Magenta Separation, made through a Wratten 61 Filter

Cyan Separation, made through a Wratten 25 filter

And, the process:

The Yellow separation is printed first

And then the magenta layer is printed over the top of the yellow layer...

And then the cyan layer is printed, and the image all comes together

And there we go. There’s some clear fogging and plate damage in areas of this image, and the colour balance isn’t quite right, but as a proof of concept I was quite happy.
