Advantages and characteristics of gravure printing

Gravure printing is a common printing technique which is widely used in packaging, labels, plastic bags and other fields. Here are the advantages and characteristics of gravure printing:

1. High-quality printing: Gravure printing can achieve high-quality printing effect, which can show rich colours and delicate patterns. It can control the thickness and concentration of ink during the printing process to achieve the ideal printing effect.

2. Large-area printing: Gravure printing is suitable for large-area printing, which can print large-area patterns or text at one time, improving efficiency and production capacity. This makes gravure printing one of the technologies for large-scale commercial printing.

3. Wide range of application: Gravure printing is not only suitable for paper printing, but also for printing on a variety of materials, such as plastics, metals, glass, textiles and so on. Therefore, gravure printing can meet the printing needs of a variety of different materials.

4. High-precision printing: Gravure printing can achieve high-precision printing, and can print very small and precise patterns and text. This makes gravure printing suitable for industries that require high precision printing, such as electronics, medical devices, etc.

5. Strong durability: Intaglio printed patterns and text are highly durable and resistant to scratching and abrasion. This makes intaglio printing ideal for some products that are used for a long period of time, such as car logos, electrical appliance decals and so on.

6. Special effects can be achieved: Gravure printing can achieve some special printing effects, such as raised, embossed, hot stamping, cold lamination and so on. These special effects can enhance the visual appeal and added value of the products and strengthen the brand image.

7. Low production cost: The production cost of gravure printing is relatively low because it can complete a large number of printings in a short period of time. In addition, gravure printing has a high ink utilisation rate and high efficiency, which saves the use of materials and energy.

8. Environmentally friendly: Gravure printing uses relatively little ink and contains no harmful substances, causing less pollution to the environment. In addition, gravure printing wastewater, waste paper, etc. can also be effectively treated and recycled, reducing the negative impact on the environment.

In short, gravure printing has advantages and features such as high quality, large-area printing, wide range of application, high precision, strong durability, special effects can be realised, low production cost and environmental friendliness. These advantages make intaglio printing a technology for many industries and occupy an important position in market competition.
