The gravure printing system uses a rotary press with intaglio cylinders. Ink is directly applies to the cylinders and then transferred to the substrate. Large or high volume cell gravure rolls should be used to accommodate the high absorbency of Teslin synthetic paper. Web tension should be maintained at 0.5-1.0 lb/in (0.9-1.8 N/cm) of width to avoid distorting the image. Ovens and dryers should be operated at minimal temperatures and high air flow rates. Contact your ink supplier to determine the best ink to use on Teslin substrate.
