English - English
A type of intaglio printing process, in which an image is engraved onto a rotating copper cylinder
A printing process which provides good quality at high speed and relatively low cost The design image is etched into a series of cylinders that transfer ink to paper BACK TO TOP
The process of printing from cylinders that contain cells that hold the ink for transfer to the substrate In gravure color printing, each succeeding color is printed on a dry color, rather than one still wet as in letterpress and offset lithography
A method of printing in which the image is obtained from intaglio plates, differing from letterpress plates in that the image to be printed lies below the surface of the plate in ink-filled wells
A method of printing in which the image is etched into the printing plates, as opposed to letterpress printing, in which the image is slightly raised from the rest of the plate Gravure printing produces consistent quality in long production runs
A method of printing with etched or engraved plates
a printing plate used in the process of gravure
A method of printing in which the image is etched into the surface of the printing plate and is therefore, recessed below the surface of the plate Ink is captured in the recesses of the image and is transferred to paper under firm pressure (Also called photogravure)
intaglio printing an intaglio print produced by gravure a printing plate used in the process of gravure
(Rotogravure) A printing process which uses a metal plate etched with a negative image in the form of diamond shaped pits Ink is then carried in these pits to the paper surface, excess being wiped off the surface by a metal blade
A printing method that uses ink-filled depressions in a cylinder to deposit ink on a substrate, forming an image The small depressions, known as "cells", are etched into the cylinder to form the image Ink is flooded onto the cylinder and then removed by a blade scraping the cylinder surface Only the ink in the etched depressions remains and is transferred to the substrate on contact See also: rotogravure
A printing process that uses an etched printing cylinder
an intaglio print produced by gravure
Method for printing in which a metal cylinder is etched with millions of tiny holes; the holes are filled with ink that is transferred directly to paper or via an offset process Jacket - This refers to the paper jacket typically used to wrap around hardcase books The jackets are usually printed on high grade paper and in full color, with special finishing processes such as foil stamping or spot varnishing applied
a rotary printing process using an etched metal plate
{i} photoengraving, printing of an engraved photograph; print made from an engraving
A variant of photogravure without use of a camera The artist draws an image on a plastic film such as Mylar for photographic transfer to the plate
One of three major printing processes Uses a depressed or cell-like area to produce an impression
a printing process that uses an etched or engraved plate; the plate is smeared with ink and wiped clean, then the ink left in the recesses makes the print
A printing process utilizing an intaglio printing plate created by photographic and chemical means, rather than by hand engraving See also Intaglio
A printing process which utilises an intaglio plate i e the printing image is indented Gravure machinery is highly sophisticated and is used on long runs
Recesses on a cylinder are filled with ink and the surplus is removed with a blade The paper contracts the cylinder and "lifts" the ink from the recesses
Method of printing using metal cylinders etched with millions of tiny wells that hold ink
French for engraving There are several types of engraving, including copper-plate and wood engraving, rotogravure and photogravure In English, gravure has been used broadly to cover any or all of these several types In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, prints have been referred to as "art gravures" in order to distinguish them as art prints, rather than as merely commercial-grade prints
intaglio printing
gravure printing
Printing processes used for catalogs, magazines, newspaper supplements, cartons, floor and wall coverings, textiles, and plastics. The Bohemian Karel Klí made photogravure a practical commercial process in 1878. An image is etched in the copper surface of the printing cylinder as pits or wells of different depths. In rotogravure printing, the cylinder rotates through a trough filled with fast-drying ink. A thin steel doctor blade removes the ink from the surface but not from the wells. The cylinder comes in contact with the paper, which draws the ink out of the wells. Because of the various depths of the wells, a full range of tonal values can be printed; in reproducing illustrations, gravure comes closest to simulating continuous-tone copy. In colour printing, a separate cylinder is prepared for each colour. See also letterpress printing; offset printing
photo-gravure
method of printing in which ink is absorbed in low-lying areas on the paper
