Intaglio printing process in which ink is retained in the recessed areas of the printing plate (which is wetted and wiped before every impression) before being transferred to paper or other printing surface. Gravure printing is an intaglio process.
Gravure printing rocess in which the image to be printed (unlike in letterpress and flexographic printing) is etched into the printing plate, and the printing ink (unlike in offset printing) is transferred direct to the paper. Used mainly for long runs of high quality multicolor printing. Also called photogravure printing, specially where photographs are reproduced
