Frequently Asked Questions

What is gravure ink?

Gravure ink is a low-viscosity, fast-drying ink used in rotogravure printing — a process where ink is transferred from an engraved cylinder to the substrate. Gravure inks are solvent-based for fast drying on non-porous flexible packaging films.

What is the difference between gravure and flexo ink?

Gravure ink is transferred from an engraved cylinder, while flexo ink is transferred from a raised photopolymer plate via an anilox roll. Gravure delivers higher print quality for long-run flexible packaging, while flexo is more economical for shorter runs.

What substrates is TWG-SB-RT suitable for?

TWG-SB-RT is formulated for flexible packaging film substrates. Contact TriWill Group with your specific film details and we will confirm suitability and application guidance.

Does TWG-SB-RT support high-speed gravure printing?

Yes. TWG-SB-RT is formulated for fast solvent drying to support the high line speeds of modern rotogravure presses.
