GRAVURE CTP Isando

CTP Gravure in Isando, Johannesburg is a printing, warehousing and distribution facility, used to produce catalogues, inserts, direct mail material, brochures, magazines and other assorted materials. Gravure presses are typically suited to longer print runs.
Gravure printing uses a recessed cylinder to remove excess ink from the paper's surface, producing an engraved design effect.

The Gravure plant fits well with, and complements, CTP Isando's adjacent web offset printing plant. Significant savings can be made on print lead times, lighter weights of paper are used without any loss of print quality, there is a significant reduction in paper waste due to the variable cut-off which enables print cylinders to be tailored to the right size for the designated job, and the environmental footprint of the gravure plant is less than that of other print technology.
