Rotogravure is a printing technology in the world. Rotogravure alone in the world of print graphics means. Or in layman language is the printing technology used to print media made of a flexible material (eg; various types of plastic, aluminum and paper and PVC). Materials to be printed is in the form of rollers or rolls. Results from the rotogravure printing is not directly can be enjoyed by consumers, but must go through several stages, as follows (eg manufacture of snack packs of children); 1. Plastic laminated printout by placing first in print rollers to laminate machine, then the plastic rollers are coated with adhesive and attached to other media in the form of "metalize" (a mixture of plastic material coated with aluminum). 2. Results that have been laminated rolls and then dried (in the "aging") first. 3. Rollers that have been dried and then taken to the machine "slitter", to cut long, wide rolls into a certain size in accordance with orders from the snack manufacturer. The above process only a brief description, behind it is still a lot of technology used in the world to produce a rotogravure packaging. Starting from design, making cylindrical tubes of iron, copper coating, making the picture above has a metal cylinder covered with copper, chrome coating, printing, inspection, lamination, slitting (cutting), making bags (if that orders sent form pockets) and many longer process therein. Because in the process changing the form of raw material into a material, usually this process is called process of "converting" or in other words, is "converting industry" As for some everyday examples of converting the result is, as follows: 1. 2 packs of instant noodle. Packaging of drugs (other than the capsule and syrup and eye drops) 3. 4 snack packs. Water bottle label bottled mineral water and isotonic (called shrink label) 5. Close mineral water drinks, etc. (cup lid) 6. Rotogravure and the like can also be used to produce magazines, folding box, gift wrapp and beverage labels with special equipment can be done in line. Excess rotogravure printing process compared to other can be used to print in rolls of a width ranging from 20 cm (labeling) to 1100 cm (vinyl floor) with a length of more than 5000 m depending on the material used. Similarly, the type of materials used vary widely, ranging from plastic film 12mc to 320 gsm cardboard. While the weakness of the rotogravure is not as sharp image quality offset and text structure formed from the dot.
