What is Gravure Printing?
What is gravure printing? To understand rotogravure printing, a brief primer of intaglio is required. Intaglio is the process used in printing and printmaking in which an image is incised into a surface and where the incised line – or sunken area – holds the ink. There are many applications for intaglio, such as the decoration of armor, musical instruments, and religious objects, as well as mass-printed stock certificates, maps, magazines, newspapers, fabrics, sheet music, wallpapers, banknotes, passports, and high-value postage stamps. Rotogravure – gravure for short – is a type of intaglio printing process which utilizes an engraved cylinder […]
Everything to Know About Flexographic Inks
Our water-based acrylic polymers are used for a wide variety of applications that span multiple industries. Gellner Industrial’s water-based acrylic polymers are used in many ink solutions, such as Flexographic and Gravure inks. Flexographic inks are primarily used in the process of flexography to print ink on materials such as plastic bags, newspapers, catalogues, food packaging, corrugated cardboard, cardboard boxes, and other types of packing mediums. In this article we’ll take a brief look at the process of Flexographic printing, the types of Flexographic inks that are most commonly used, and how our water-based acrylic polymers are used to aid […]

What Are VOCs?
Volatile organic compounds – otherwise known as VOCs – are a variety of compounds that are emitted as gases from certain types of solids and liquids. The concentration of VOCs can be particularly high indoors (up to 10x higher than outdoors) and can be emitted from a vast amount of household products. Wax, paints, and varnishes all contain organic solvents, as well as degreasing, hobby, cleaning, cosmetic, and disinfecting products. These are just some of the products that can contain VOCs: Pesticide Hobby supplies Moth repellants Air fresheners Wood preservatives Aerosol sprays Paints, paint strippers, and other solvents Building materials […]
