He worked on his photomechanical process in the 1850s and patented it in 1852 ('photographic engraving') and 1858 ('photoglyphic engraving'). [2] Photogravure in its mature form was developed in 1878 by Czech painter Karel Klíč, who built on Talbot's research.

Gravure printing is known for its ability to produce high-quality, high-resolution images with accurate color reproduction and using viscosity control equipment during production.
