rotogravure
Engraved cylinder press
Rotogravure is a printing process that uses engraved cylinders to transfer ink onto paper, producing high-quality images with rich tonal gradations.
The technique was once standard for newspaper photo supplements and magazine illustrations: the Sunday rotogravure section.
The word now sounds quaint, evoking an earlier era of print media.
