Rotogravure Printing Machines

Rotogravure presses print from engraved cylinders — the choice for long repeat runs that need rich, consistent color on flexible packaging.

Definition

What is a rotogravure printing machine?

In rotogravure, the image is engraved into a chrome-plated cylinder. The cylinder is flooded with ink, wiped by a doctor blade and pressed against the substrate, so every cell transfers the same volume of ink for dense, repeatable color.

E-SHION's ESAY-C 1350 runs 8 colors at 1,350 mm web width and 170 m/min mechanical speed, with a 3-motor system and ±0.1 mm registration — built for high-volume packaging converters.

Frequently asked
questions

When should I choose gravure over flexo?

When you run the same design in high volume. Gravure gives denser ink laydown and better long-run consistency; changeover cost is higher, so plan for repeat orders.

How many colors can it print?

The ESAY-C 1350 is an 8-color press; additional units can be discussed for special coatings.

What substrates work?

Film, foil and paper commonly run on gravure. Confirm surface treatment and ink system in the proposal.

What is the registration accuracy?

±0.1 mm with automatic register control on the ESAY-C 1350.

Can it feed bag making or lamination?

Yes — printed webs can be rewound for lamination or fed directly into converting.
