This masterclass provides a general technical overview of gravure offset printing, including its working principle, key process steps, and main application considerations. The session will explain how gravure offset differs from conventional gravure printing and discuss the factors that influence print quality, consistency, and material compatibility.
The talk will also review the general advantages and limitations of the process, along with common application areas and important considerations related to plates, blankets, pattern design, and process parameters. The objective is to provide attendees with a clear understanding of gravure offset printing as a manufacturing and development method for high-quality patterned deposition.
