In addition, Premium Flexo offers tools for simple and efficient job preparation that help users get the most out of the PremiumFlexo so- lution.

HD Gravure

Color brilliance and excellent run stability are just two of the advantages gravure printing has over other printing methods. It also boasts soft vignettes down to 0 percent and ultrafine screens.

Contour sharpness on linework, however, is less pronounced in gravure printing, as is detail reproduction on fine graphical elements. This can have a detrimental effect on the legibility of small text. In addition, the proof prints that are generally required are very costly.

HD Gravure addresses these issues in a number of ways. Its ideal combination of innovative technologies achieves high-quality, economical results that previously required a huge amount of time and effort.
