Product type
Gravure printing is a high-quality printing process that utilizes engraved cylinders to transfer ink onto various substrates. The cylinders are etched with the desired image or pattern, which holds the ink and allows for precise and consistent printing. This technology is commonly used for large volume printing jobs due to its efficiency and ability to produce vibrant colors and fine details.
| Printing Speed | Up to 600 meters per minute |
| Ink Types | Solvent-based, water-based, and UV-curable inks |
| Substrates | Flexible films, paper, and foil |
| Cylinder Material | Copper or chrome-plated steel |
| Print Resolution | Typically ranges from 300 to 1200 dpi |
When choosing gravure printing services, consider the type of substrate you need and the specific ink requirements for your project. It's important to specify the desired print resolution, cylinder size, and any special finishes or coatings. Additionally, inquire about the minimum order quantities and turnaround times to ensure they meet your production schedule.
