Gravure plate making

At TOYO FPP, we are able to realize a wide variety of printing expressions by taking advantage of our group's strength in handling everything from ink production to plate making.
Gravure cylinders, which are essential for rich color expression and printability, are being used not only for packaging, but also for adhesives and coatings, as well as high-definition and thin-film coating plates for electronics materials, and are being used at the micro level. Contributes to the transmission of information, sensibilities, and functions.

Features of TOYO FPP 's gravure platemaking

We perform plate making using etching technology, cell depth technology, and special screens to achieve even higher design and functionality.

  • Achieving high design quality and functionality through a combination of plate-making technology and a variety of special inks.
  • Optimal conditions can be designed according to the characteristics of the ink and plate making.
  • Improved suitability for printing with special inks

TOYO FPP 's business field

Package

In our daily lives, we are surrounded by a variety of household goods, including packages, and decorated books, many of which are printed on film or paper.
Our graphic arts and plate-making technologies are useful in accurately reproducing and delivering the colors, designs, and information that are the message of designers and manufacturers.

Adhesion/coating

Packages and a wide range of other daily necessities and industrial products are composed of multi-layer thin film materials bonded and coated with fine particles in the form of particulates, which can protect the contents, strengthen their resistance, and beautify them.
This requires the coatings of various adhesives and coatings. Our high-definition plate-making technology contributes to this precise coatings.

printed electronics

Extremely advanced gravure coatings are used in some electronics materials and circuit formation that support advanced information and communications technology.
Utilizing our experience with Gravure rolls, we provide gravure cylinders for printed electronics that enable ultra-high-definition patterning in microns, fine RFID circuit applications, and other high-precision thin film coatings.

production equipment

An example of plate-making equipment

Engraving machine for large cylinders

We have introduced the K500XXL/Gravostar, and with its rich lineup of engraving heads, we are able to make a wide range of plates, from coarse-line deep plates to high-fine lines.

Laser plate making system

This is a device that prints and makes plates on gravure cylinders using ultra-high precision laser light. This system achieves a high degree of automation, including cylinder setup.

High precision grinding machine polish master

A high-speed rotating diamond cutter grinds the copper-plated cylinder surface with high precision of ±5 microns. It provides stable printing with excellent registration accuracy and reduces printing loss.

Digilas 5000

As a gravure roll for coatings in the industrial materials field, it is possible to design plates according to the application, including rough and deep plates that require a large amount of coating, rolls related to electrical materials that require high precision, printable electronics, and other security. Ultra high-definition plate making for related items is possible.
Digilas 5000 draws figures in μm units using ultra-high resolution laser irradiation. Using CAD software, etc., you can freely adjust the cell shape, pitch, and angle.
After laser irradiation, cells are formed with corrosive liquid, so depth control is also possible.

TOYO FPP 's image processing and quality assurance

DTP image processing system

With the Artworker and PackEdge (ESKO) systems, we can respond quickly and flexibly to everything from design to printing, retouching, special plate-making processing, etc. under a fully digital environment.

Gravure multi proofing machine

It is possible to print proofs using cylinders that have not yet been shipped to the same level as printing with this machine, and we provide quality assurance as a plate-making manufacturer. Also, depending on the usage, it is possible to omit the need to be present at the printing factory.
