As mentioned, gravure printing has a high start-up cost. The main reason for the high start-up cost for rotogravure printing is the printing cylinders, also called print plates.

With rotogravure printing, the design graphics are etched directly onto the surface of printing cylinders The print cylinders will transfer the graphics by inks directly onto the film.

The process of producing the print cylinders is not short, around a week in China. Each print plate can hold simply one color. We can use both CYMK or pantone colours for the print.
