Comprehensive Explanation of JCTPRINT Gravure Cylinder Manufacturing Process

 

When it comes to the processing of gravure cylinders, JCTPRINT utilizes advanced technology and professional equipment to deliver high-quality gravure cylinders to its customers. Below is a detailed introduction to the manufacturing process of JCTPRINT gravure cylinders:

1. Image Design and Graphic Design: Before commencing the production of gravure cylinders, JCTPRINT engages in thorough communication with the customers to understand their printing needs and requirements. Based on the provided information, JCTPRINT's design team creates image designs and graphics that meet the specified criteria.

2. Mechanical Treatment: After completing the designs, JCTPRINT selects the appropriate base material and performs mechanical treatment. The choice of base material depends on the printing requirements, with common materials being steel, aluminum, and nickel, among others. Through precision turning, grinding, and milling, the cylinder's dimensions and shape are precisely achieved.

3. Copper Plating: Following the mechanical treatment, the surface of the cylinder undergoes copper plating. Copper plating enhances the cylinder's hardness and wear resistance, preparing it for the subsequent engraving process.

4. Engraving: The patterns and recesses on the gravure cylinder are created through an engraving process. JCTPRINT employs advanced electroplating technology to accurately engrave the recesses and patterns onto the cylinder's surface.

5. Chroming: After engraving, the cylinder's surface typically undergoes chroming. Chroming further enhances the cylinder's hardness and wear resistance while maintaining a smooth and uniform surface.

6. Printing Sample Making: During the cylinder's production, JCTPRINT creates printing samples for testing and debugging purposes. These samples are utilized to verify the cylinder's patterns and quality, ensuring that the gravure cylinder's performance meets the specified requirements.

7. Ex-factory Inspection: Once all the processes are completed, JCTPRINT conducts a rigorous ex-factory inspection. This inspection involves comprehensive checks of the cylinder's dimensions, patterns, and surface quality, guaranteeing that it meets the high-quality printing standards.

8. Packaging and Delivery: Finally, JCTPRINT ensures proper packaging to safeguard the gravure cylinder during transportation. The cylinder is then delivered to the customer or installed in the gravure printing machine for use.

Through this detailed process, JCTPRINT is committed to providing its customers with superior gravure cylinders, showcasing exceptional performance in printing production. Leveraging advanced technology and a professional team, JCTPRINT maintains a prominent position in the gravure cylinder manufacturing industry.

Gravure Cylinder Cost:

The price of a rotogravure cylinder can vary depending on several factors, including but not limited to the following:

1. Size and specifications: The size and specifications of the rotogravure cylinder directly affect its price. Generally, larger sizes and more complex specifications can lead to a higher price.

2. Complexity of the design: If you require intricate designs or engravings on the rotogravure cylinder, it will increase the production cost, hence potentially raising the price.

3. Engraving depth: The depth of the engravings or patterns on the rotogravure cylinder's surface is another factor influencing the price. Deeper engravings may require more production steps and materials, leading to a higher cost.

4. Material selection: Rotogravure cylinders can be made from various materials such as copper, nickel, etc. The choice of material affects the cost and performance, thus impacting the price.

5. Production quantity: Typically, bulk production may offer certain discounts, while producing a single piece may result in a higher price.

 

Due to the combined effect of these factors, the price of gravure cylinders may vary greatly in different scenarios. If you have specific requirements, it is recommended to communicate with JCTPRINT to obtain accurate quotations and more detailed information.
