Production flow insights
|
▼ |
- The plate cylinder is engraved via an electromechanical process, or in laser. - The depth of cells is adapted to the target color density and the related quantity of ink needed. - The engraving precision varies from 500 dpi (conventional) to 5080 dpi (laser). - For extended runs, the plate cylinder is chrome-plated. |

- The make-ready operations are very simple and quickly realized. - Being a direct printing process, the construction of a printing unit comprises only two key elements: a gravure cylinder and an impression cylinder. - The inking cassette is smoothly introduced in the unit thanks to a trolley or a simple pallet truck. - Automatic pre-settings. |

- The ink flow is controlled via a pneumatically assisted ink roller. - An optional pre-inking roller helps fine-tune the flow depending on the ink type or the production speed. - The printing quality is ensured by the easily adjustable doctor blade (offline) which will remove any excessive ink on the gravure cylinder. - The number of printing units is adapted to the required special colors and to the added value steps (coating, holograms, metallic inks…). |
