TAGA Day 3 Session 8: Packaging-Gravure
Print Line Quality in the Gravure Process
Tim C. Claypole and Eifion Jewell, Welsh Centre for Printing and Coating, University of Wales Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom
Notes: Print line quality is an important attribute for the rotogravure process if its going to be a viable option in the manufacture of printed electronics. In rotogravure, images are created by using cells to deposit ink on the substrate. Even solid lines are made up of tiny 'dots.' (unlike offset and flexo which can transfer a solid images -- sans dots). The small voids in a gravure printed image can cause a problem when producing electronic circuits where gaps in a circuit are bad.
Gamut Optimization for Process Color Printing
Robert Chung and Fred Hsu, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, New York, U.S.A.
Notes: Bob's presentation went over a process for optimizing the gamut of a rotogravure package printing workflow.
