Typically used when high quality and sharp, fine lines are necessary, gravuree printing is a type of intaglio printing, using copper cylinders that rotate within a gravuree-ink-filled pan, which subsequently transfer an image onto the surface material.

The gravure inks themselves have a very low viscosity and are solvent-based and water-based. In the printing process, the ink actually dries before the paper reaches the next printing station, in order to allow for smudge-free overprinting. A gravure printing ink must print from a fine line screen, and for a good gravuree ink to be created, it must begin with a high-quality acrylic polymer.

Greensea pigments offer the publication gravuree inks manufacturer choices in chemistries, color and transparency! This exciting range of blue and unique chlorinated green support expansion of color space and properties. They deliver superior color strength with minimal rub-off that making it ideal for the most demanding publication applications which uses NC, PA and PU Inks in their systems.
