Features: This book starts with the definition, advantages, development, and application fields of intaglio printing, and introduces the entire intaglio printing process in 3 parts. Part 1 focuses on pre-press processes, detailing the preparation of plate files, cylinder preparation, etching intaglio plate processes, electronic engraving plate making processes, and intaglio proofing. Part 2 covers in-press processes, covering intaglio printing inks, substrates, intaglio printing machines, and intaglio printing processes. Part 3 introduces post-press processes for intaglio printing. The appendix at the end of the book provides information on more than ten national standards and a directory of suppliers of intaglio printing-related equipment. The content of this book is comprehensive and technologically advanced, filling the gap in domestic intaglio printing books over the past decade.
