Innovative equipment combines gravure printing with narrow-width printing

Gravure printing is mainly used in wide-web packages to print high-volume, high-quality products. As for the narrow-width printing, the application range is limited and less used due to the high cost of the gravure printing plate roller and the danger of the solvent volatile ink used.

At the 6th Beijing International Print Technology Exhibition (China Print 2005), Duoweilong Swiss Co., Ltd., a new company of the Intercom Group, launched the "mobile gravure printing group", which has made it difficult to apply gravure printing to narrow web presses. The situation. According to reports, Duoweilong mobile gravure printing group has three major advantages:

1. Can print gravure printed high-quality printing effects on a wide range of materials;
2. To provide better metal color printing for the cosmetics and beverage industry;
3. As with narrow-width gravure printing, large-volume cigarette packs can be precisely printed, making narrow-grained intaglio printing a more attractive and comprehensive process.

Manufacturers said that Duoweilong mobile gravure printing group can be placed in any printing position of the printing press, and can be applied to different types of ink, including: solvent-based, water-based and UV gravure printing ink. Can also be combined with multi-Veonon C and F series presses for multi-purpose integrated printing. Other configurations include: water-based flexo, UV flexo, and UV rotary screen printing.

Established a narrow-width printing and production technology training center

As the quality and productivity of China's medium- and narrow-format printing industries still need to be improved, Intercom Group plans to set up a narrow-width printing technology training center in South China, and Dr. Jules Farkas has been appointed as the chairman of the Technical Training Center. In addition to providing theoretical training and internship opportunities for the label printing industry and the packaging and printing industry, the center will also establish a working partnership with the DFTA Technology Center at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, while seeking sponsorship for the establishment of the China Narrowband Technology Association.
