Gravure printing is the process in which ink is applied to the entirety of an engraved gravure cylinder, after which a thin steel “doctor blade” scrapes off excess ink and the ink remaining in the recessed cells of the cylinder is transferred to the substrate. Gravure printing is particularly well suited for multi-color printing, and also makes high-speed, large-volume printing possible, so it is also employed for the printing of magazines as well as plastic film packaging used for food products and pharmaceuticals. The depth of the engraved recesses corresponds to the shade of desired
color tone, which makes it possible to have control over intricate color
gradations across a wide spectrum. Gravure printing is a printing process
ideally suited for replicating images, and for this reason it is also
used for organic electronic printing. The depth of the engraved recesses
allow for precise amounts of material to be deposited on the substrate.
