A gravure printing system comprising a gravure cylinder having a first plurality of discrete cells disposed upon an outer surface thereof is disclosed. Each cell of said first plurality of discrete cells has a nominal diameter and is capable of receiving a fluid that is a first combination of at least two primary fluids. The fluid is fluidically displaceable through a discrete channel having a single entry point at said first position and a single exit point into a first cell of said first plurality of discrete cells. The outer surface has a metal plating disposed thereon. The metal plating reduces the nominal diameter of each cell of the first plurality of discrete cells.
A gravure printing system comprising a gravure cylinder having a first plurality of discrete cells disposed upon an outer surface thereof, each cell of said first plurality of discrete cells having a nominal diameter and being capable of receiving a fluid that is a first combination of at least two primary fluids, a first portion of a first of said at least two primary fluids being mixed with a second of said at least two primary fluids at a first position internal to said gravure cylinder and a second portion of said first primary fluid being mixed with a third primary fluid at a second position internal to said gravure cylinder, said fluid being fluidically displaceable through a discrete channel having a single entry point at said first position and a single exit point into a first cell of said first plurality of discrete cells and wherein a discrete channel for each respective fluid of said at least two primary fluids provides fluid communication of said respective fluid from a position external to said gravure cylinder to said first position internal to said gravure cylinder, said discrete channel for each respective fluid having a single entry point at said position external to said gravure cylinder and a single exit point at said first position internal to said gravure cylinder, said outer surface having a metal plating disposed thereon, said metal plating reducing said nominal diameter of each cell of said first plurality of discrete cells.
A gravure printing system comprising a gravure cylinder having a plurality of discrete cells each being disposed upon an outer surface thereof and having a nominal diameter, a first of said plurality of discrete cells being capable of receiving at least one fluid from a first channel having a single entry point and a single exit point and extending from a position external to said gravure cylinder and a second of said plurality of discrete cells being capable of receiving a first portion of a second fluid and a third fluid from a second and third channel each respectively extending from a second and third position external to said gravure cylinder, said first portion of said second fluid and said third fluid being mixed internally to said gravure cylinder prior to deposition into said second of said plurality of discrete cells, each of said fluids being fluidically displaced into said first and second cells from said channels at a position internal to said gravure cylinder and wherein a second portion of said second fluid is disposable into a third of said plurality of discrete cells, said outer surface having a metal plating disposed thereon, said metal plating reducing said nominal diameter of each cell of said first plurality of discrete cells.
