By quantifying the sensitometric behavior of polymer plates, Harmon has developed a methodical approach which will enable a new printmaker to produce plates in their own studio with a minimum of time and wasted materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection One provides a straightforward guide to setting up the polymer photogravure studio. Section Two covers a step-by-step method of making the print from start to finish. Section Three showcases contemporary artists’ works, illustrating the variety and artistic breadth of contemporary polymer intaglio printmaking. The works in these pages range from monochrome to full color, and represent a variety of genres, including still lifes, portraits, nudes, landscapes, urban-scapes and more. Featuring over 30 artists and 200 full-color images, \u003ci\u003ePolymer Photogravure\u003c\/i\u003e is a most comprehensive overview of this printmaking process in print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey topics covered include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipment and supplies, evaluated from both a cost and utility point of view\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA brief discussion of the types of ink-based printing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquatint screen considerations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage preparation and positive printing on inkjet printers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA simple and efficient polymer plate calibration process that minimizes wasted time and materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA straightforward inking, wiping and printing method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced printing techniques such as chine collé, à la poupée, and printing on wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTroubleshooting guide to platemaking and printing problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTips on editioning and portfolios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA visual survey of the range of artistic expression practiced by contemporary artists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSources for supplies and recommended reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolymer photogravure plates enable an artist to use an almost-infinite range of image color and papers to make a print.
