Question

In Gravure printing unit, transfer of ink is affected by

• A. Wetting properties of the printing substrate,
• B. Only (i) and (ii)
• C. Only (i) and (iii)
• D. Only (ii) and (iii)

Hint:

Controlling ink viscosity, substrate wetting, and pressure ensures optimal gravure print quality.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In Gravure printing, ink transfer is influenced by multiple factors. The wetting properties determine how well ink adheres to the substrate, ink viscosity controls the flow and amount of ink transferred, and printing pressure ensures the ink is evenly distributed. All three factors are important to achieve optimal print quality, reducing issues such as ink smearing or inconsistent coverage.
