The gravure plates can be printed on a wide variety of paper and plastics. The ability of this medium to reproduce thousands of different tonal transitions in oil surpasses many other photographic printing processes. I create the prints on commission for you.

I produce photogravure plates of exceptionally high quality from digital files, guaranteeing fixed delivery times for printing in your own studio.

We work together on-site. When artists work in the studio, they have the privilege of witnessing the printing process firsthand. This makes it easier to make changes and view the results. This collaborative approach fosters a true partnership between the print shop and the artist.

Over the course of several days, these workshops cover various aspects of photogravure. By the end of the workshop, all participants will go home with a handful of prints of their own photos.
