gravure printing

Definition

Process in which the image to be printed (unlike in letterpress and flexographic printing) is etched into the printing plate, and the printing ink (unlike in offset printing) is transferred direct to the paper. Used mainly for long runs of high quality multicolor printing. Also called photogravure printing, specially where photographs are reproduced.
