John,

An exceptionally excellent question!

http://www.curtis-collection.com/process.html

it appears to me that photogravure process has to use some kind of
halftoning technique to get tonality, as it only uses a single ink.  Does
anyone know more about this?  I have a book with photogravures in it, that
I'll take my magnifier out and look at, out of intellectual curiosity...
