The process uses intaglio engraving and a supplement of special machinery, such as rotogravures or sheet-fed mechanized gravure, by which prints can be produced rapidly and at a lower cost than traditional photogravure. Mezzogravure allowed for a great range of colors to exist within the finished prints, contrasting with the usual monotone style of photogravure. This process was heavily developed and practiced by the Mezzo-Gravure Company from New York.
