In Gravure Printing, a metal plate is used as the primary printing surface.

Copper is a commonly used metal for Gravure Printing plates due to its durability and ability to hold fine details.

In Gravure Printing, the printing image is created on the metal plate through a process called Etching, which involves using acids to dissolve areas of the plate.

Nitric Acid is commonly used in Etching for Gravure Printing due to its ability to create deep and precise lines on the metal plate.

Aquatint is a technique used in Gravure Printing to add texture to the printing plate, creating a distinctive granular effect.

Oil-Based Ink is commonly used in Gravure Printing due to its ability to create rich, deep colors and its resistance to smudging.

A Printing Press is used in Gravure Printing to apply pressure to transfer ink from the printing plate to paper, creating the final print.

Japanese Paper is often used in Gravure Printing due to its high quality, durability, and ability to absorb ink well.

A Burnisher is used in Gravure Printing to smooth the surface of the printing plate, removing any imperfections or rough edges.

Gelatin Rollers are commonly used in Gravure Printing due to their ability to evenly distribute ink and create smooth, consistent prints.

A Doctor Blade is used in Gravure Printing to remove excess ink from the printing plate, ensuring that only the ink in the etched lines is transferred to paper.

Asphaltum is a common type of etching ground used in Gravure Printing due to its ability to resist acids and create clean, precise lines.

A Stopping-Out Varnish is used in Gravure Printing to protect areas of the printing plate from being etched, allowing for selective etching of specific areas.

A Gravure Press is a specialized type of platemaking machine used in Gravure Printing to create the etched lines on the printing plate.

A Proofing Press is used in Gravure Printing to create test prints to check the quality of the printing plate and make any necessary adjustments before the final printing process.
