Gravure printing rewards precision. If you want flawless results, control the variables. That means knowing where problems creep in and dealing with them before they reach the press.
Is Your Detail Slipping?
Dot gain — the spread of printed dots beyond their intended size — can leave images darker, softer and less defined than planned. Why wait until the final print to notice? With precise 3D imaging, you can monitor dot size and hold every detail exactly where it should be.
How Consistent Are You?
A product line that drifts in colour from batch is a marketing nightmare. The customer may not be able to put their finger on it, but they’ll know something is wrong. Advanced measurement tools keep every run aligned with the intended colour profile, cutting reprints and keeping both clients and customers confident.
Are You Hitting the Right Density?
Too much ink and the image clogs. Too little and it fades. Print density measurement keeps your ink application just right, making sure every print is vibrant and clear with no guesswork needed.
Is Registration Locked In?
Misaligned prints aren’t just annoying, they look unprofessional. Getting registration right means every layer of colour lines up perfectly. Precision calibration tools help you avoid blurry, wonky prints and keep things looking polished.
Keeping Your Cylinders Fit for Purpose
If the cylinders are off, everything is off. How do you know they are right? Advanced 3D analysis checks depth, volume and wall thickness to catch problems like streaking or smudging before they cause disruption.
Detailed X/Y/Z measurement and visual assessment mean faults are found early and fixed quickly
The Tools That Keep You in Control
Troika’s Gravure QC software delivers real-time 3D scanning, automatic depth and volume readings, and precise stylus analysis.
Pair it with the Cylinder Management System (CMS) to track IDs, screen counts and condition logs, reducing setup times and keeping production on target.
Conclusion
Gravure printing at its best is built on accuracy, discipline and the right technology. AniCAM HD™ Plus with Gravure QC and CMS gives you the data to keep every job on specification and every client satisfied.
