The first step in making a Talbot-Klic copper plate hand-pulled photogravure print is preparing the printing plate. This pure copper plate must be thoroughly cleaned, its surface highly polished, and its edges beveled (to avoid damaging the paper during printing). Next it is evenly dusted or sprayed with an acid resist of rosin or asphaltum, and heated to make the resist adhere. This procedure is identical to that of aquatint print-making.
