Gravure printability comparison of laser engraved and electromechanically engraved cylinders was done on five different substrates. Ink transfer was less reduced on laser print than electromechnaical when printed without electrostatic assist. Print mottle was significantly lower and yellow, magenta and black laser engraved images, while cyan print from laser engraved cylinder had higher mottle on some substrates (SCB, SCA and freesheet). Overall, the print quality than that from the electromechanically engraved one.

On May 9, 2004, I boarded a flight to Düsseldorf, Germany, to attend drupa with some of my colleagues. The following days p roved to be a fabulous opportunity to network and learn about the greatest innovations in printing and, specifically, gravure. A portion of my trip was funded by the Gravure Education Foundation, to whom I express great appreciation .

ICC profiling software is widely used in the graphic arts industry. The quality of a scanner profile created by profiling software using a single training target is discussed. A more stringent quantitative analysis of the profile quality is proposed. Different targets from different photo paper manufactures are used as the testing targets to compare the quality of the profiles. A grayscale was also used for testing the ability of profiling software to preserve gray balance. The results show that profiling software can generate apparently high quality profile for the training targets. However, the profile of one target assigned to the …
