1. gravure

   Rotogravure (or gravure for short) is a type of intaglio printing process, which involves engraving the image onto an image carrier. In gravure printing, the image is engraved onto a cylinder because, like offset printing and flexography, it uses a rotary printing press. Once a staple of newspaper photo features, the rotogravure process is still used for commercial printing of magazines, postcards, and corrugated (cardboard) and other product packaging.

1. gravure

   Gravure is a type of intaglio printing process, which involves engraving an image onto an image carrier, typically a metal plate. In this process, ink is applied to the plate and then wiped from the surface, leaving ink only in the engraved areas. The plate is then pressed onto a material like paper to create the print. This technique is commonly used in fine art and photo reproduction, as well as for high-volume printing of packaging and magazines.
