| Résumé : |
Gravure presses are used to print paper and foil substrates and some plastic films. Extensible films (polyethylene) are better printed flexographically. While there are some sheet gravure precesses for speciality printing in short run lengths, most are rotary web presses, hence the name 'rotogravure'.
Almost all gravure presses are multi-colour in-line operations. Additional equipment can be added at the end of the press to manufacture folded products such as magazines. For packaging, some cartons are gravure printed on web-fed presses and die cut in-line. Occasionally, rewinding is required for gravure printed packaging products.
In the packaging industry, gravure precess are typically one metre wide or more and press speeds of 200-300m/min are common. Publication gravure presss are usually, at least two metres wide. Here, press speeds of 700-1000m/min are typical.
Gravure inks and coatings are low viscosity (100 mPas), fast drying (by evaporation) materials. Toluene is the most important solvent in publication inks. Esters, ketones, water and toluene are most frenquently used in packaging inks. |
