What is Gravure Ink?

Gravure (Rotogravure) inks are solvent-based ink with low viscosity, which can be quickly dried by vaporization. The advantages of gravure printing lie in the high, consistent, and continuously reproducible print result. Further, the benefit of fast-drying ink contributes to an immediate post-finishing of the printed goods. The ink is usually used in commercial printing of flexible materials, such as magazines, postcards, corrugated cardboard, plastic films, aluminum foil for product labeling, and all consumer packaging.
