GRAVURE PRINTING CYLINDER

摘要

A variable gravure pattern is employed on a gravure cylinder used in the overlapping coating of a cylindrical body, such as a so-called tin can, with paint or shellac. The overlapping coating provides a substantially uniform coat because of the variable gravure pattern while avoiding the pronounced line of demarcation at the start of the coat and at the end of the coat which occurs when there is a double thickness of coating in an overlap area.
