The First Part of The Birth of Practical Technology for Gravure Printing Gravure (Abstract)

As early as 1843, Fox TALBOT proposed to etch the gravure iron roll by combining a very fine fabric screen with a photographic technique to represent the size of the pits in different depths and to reproduce the continuous gradation range, but He did not implement the idea. In 1881, Frederick Eugene Ives of the United States developed a gelatin halftone relief, but the stability was poor. Until 1890, the emergence of glass screens made the halftone technology a practical industry technology. By the end of the 19th century, halftone relief began to become popular. Large publications in many countries began to include countries with halftones and line graphics. Publishers have found that such publications are sure to sell well as long as there are designs on the publications. With the popularity of halftone genuine, roller gravure has appeared. The emergence of this technology has a very important relationship with two people. Photographer and cartoonist KARL KLiC and intaglio engraver FAWCETT. In the early days, KARL KliC used gravure photo gravure technology to make intaglio. This technique involves first depositing a layer of flat pitch particles on the plate, and then placing an exposed negative carbon paper on the pitch particles and etching the plate. In this way, it is possible to create a random distribution of dots and record the gravure of the image. Later, Klic and FAWCETT jointly improved this process and invented a drum gravure printing plate production process. This process differs from the microgravure photogravure technique in that it uses very regular ink slot holes instead of randomly distributed ink holes. (continued)
