GRAVURE CYLINDER AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Provided are: a gravure cylinder having satisfactory wear resistance as a gravure cylinder and including a surface-strengthening cover layer having wear resistance equal to or greater than that of chromium plating using hexavalent chromium; a method for manufacturing said gravure cylinder; and a method for manufacturing a print using said method. This gravure cylinder includes a plate base material, a concave part layer provided to the surface of the plate base material and having numerous concave parts formed in the surface, and a surface-strengthening cover layer that covers the concave part layer in chromium nitride or carbon nitride, the surface-strengthening cover layer being formed by reactive sputtering.
