Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the Gravure Process:
|
|
|
|
Isn’t gravure expensive?
Answer:
No. Narrow web gravure cylinders often equal or beat the cost of process plates for other print processes. Pre-press may also be less as gravure cylinders are produced directly from digital input. Additionally, less print units are required since line and process may be printed in the same station. Gravure cylinders are re-usable. Set up is faster with less web waste. High, constant quality can be produced at top speeds.
