Saving inks in rotogravure without compromising quality?

Here at 4Packaging we work hard to make these ideas reality for you! A couple of months ago, some of our customers reported about significant ink savings by using Cellaxy lasered cylinders instead of electro-mechanically engraved ones. Of course, we wanted to verify those reports. Together with Stefan Beilenhoff and Windmöller & Hölscher Gruppe we ran a series of tests.


The results were impressive and surprising: By using Cellaxy engraved cylinders, up to 50% of ink can be saved. The savings scale with the respective application: 20% for white applications, 30% for dark backgrounds and up to 50% for matt varnish applications.

The most important fact is that there are only advantages in using Cellaxy engraved cylinders:

  • Higher quality: finest linework, extremely thin letters can be printed, excellent ink laydown

  • Printing process can be optimized: better performance of the machines, excellent drying characteristics, faster hardening of composite material

  • Protect the environment while you enjoy the benefits: less use of solvents & colors and also of energy due to reduced drying performance


The results are high quality combined with shorter lead times as well as savings! What are you waiting for? Contact our sales team for more information!
