Rotogravure is the modern adaptation of the gravure process, and uses a rotary press with a copper cylinder. On the cylinder, the image to be printed is cut or etched below the surface of the non-image area in the form of thousands of tiny cells that hold the ink. This process is frequently used to print publications, catalogs, newspaper supplements, labels, cartons, wall and floor coverings, packaging, and gift-wrap.
