using photography to produce a plate for printing
(gravure printing) a process in which the printed image is engraved onto a cylinder. Ink is held in the engraved recesses until it comes into contact with the paper. Used for long print runs such as magazines or catalogues.
Rotogravure printing is the opposite of letterpress printing in that the design areas are recessed into the plate instead of being a relief. It is web-fed and prints with thin, quick-drying ink to produce multiple colors. It is infrequently used in corrugated packaging.

Intaglio process. The image is below the surface of the plate. (Letterhead image is raised, the offset image is flat).
Type of printing, utilizing an etched copper cylinder.
PAPER Paper whose printing smoothness has been maximized. It is used in rotogravure printing, which employs etched cylinders and ink from a cylindrical printing surface. Generally used for the printing of catalogs, magazines, and newspaper supplements.
A type of printing, using an etched copper cylinder.
A rotary printing process originally invented by Eduard Mertens at the beginning of the 20th century. In rotogravure the image is etched on a copper cylinder and printed on a continuous paper roll. Mertens' invention speeded the manual heliogravure process by mechanizing the wiping stage. This could only be done by replacing the granular, dusted resist with a regular lined screen pattern to create a steep cell structure which was capable of holding runnier inks. Today rotogravure is commonly used for printing periodicals and advertisements.
An intaglio process using cylindrical plates which produces smooth, clear reproductions.
