In some examples, an intaglio gravure printing press includes at least one gravure printing unit having at least one forme cylinder, at least one impression cylinder, at least one inking unit and/or at least one ink collecting cylinder. Additionally, at least one assigned inking unit, at least one print head, and at least one wiping device are arranged at the at least one forme cylinder. The wiping device is arranged along the direction of rotation of the forme cylinder, and downstream from the print head when the print head is arranged at the at least one forme cylinder. In addition, the wiping device is arranged along the direction of rotation of the forme cylinder, upstream from a contact region of the forme cylinder with the impression cylinder. Alternatively, in some examples, at least one print head is arranged at the at least one impression cylinder.

An intaglio gravure printing press comprising at least one gravure printing unit, comprising at least one forme cylinder (03) and at least one impression cylinder (01), at least one inking unit (18) and/or at least one ink collecting cylinder (12), including at least one assigned inking unit (18), being arranged at the at least one forme cylinder (03), the intaglio gravure printing press comprising at least one print head (04), which is arranged at the at least one forme cylinder (03), at least one wiping device (05) being arranged at the at least one forme cylinder (03), the at least one wiping device (05) being arranged along the direction of rotation of the at least one forme cylinder (03), downstream from the at least one print head (04), when the at least one print head (04) is arranged at the at least one forme cylinder (03), characterized in that the at least one wiping device (05) is arranged along the direction of rotation of the at least one forme cylinder (03), upstream from a contact region of the at least one forme cylinder (03) with the at least one impression cylinder (01), or that the intaglio gravure printing press comprises at least one print head (04), which is arranged at the at least one impression cylinder (01).
An intaglio gravure printing press comprising at least one gravure printing unit, comprising at least one forme cylinder (03) and at least one impression cylinder (01), at least one inking unit (18) and/or at least one ink collecting cylinder (12), including at least one assigned inking unit (18), being arranged at the at least one forme cylinder (03), characterized in that the intaglio gravure printing press comprises at least one print head (04), which is arranged at the at least one impression cylinder (01).
A method for applying at least one printing fluid onto at least one substrate (10), at least one intaglio gravure printing press comprising at least one gravure printing unit comprising at least one forme cylinder (03) and at least one impression cylinder (01), the at least one forme cylinder (03) comprising at least one printing plate (02) including at least one engraving, at least one inking unit (18) and/or at least one ink collecting cylinder (12), including at least one assigned inking unit (18), inking the at least one engraving of the at least one forme cylinder (03) with at least one printing fluid embodied as ink, the at least one printing fluid embodied as ink being applied onto the at least one substrate (10), the intaglio gravure printing press comprising at least one print head (04), at least one printing fluid that is different from the printing fluid embodied as ink being indirectly applied onto the at least one substrate (10) by means of the at least one print head (04), the at least one print head (04) indirectly applying its printing fluid onto the at least one substrate (10) by means of the at least one forme cylinder (03) being inked by the at least one print head (04), characterized in that the at least one print head (04) inks the at least one engraving with the printing fluid of the at least one print head (04) prior to the at least one engraving being inked with the printing fluid that is embodied as ink.
A method for applying at least one printing fluid onto at least one substrate (10), at least one intaglio gravure printing press comprising at least one gravure printing unit comprising at least one forme cylinder (03) and at least one impression cylinder (01), the at least one forme cylinder (03) comprising at least one printing plate (02) including at least one engraving, at least one inking unit (18) and/or at least one ink collecting cylinder (12), including at least one assigned inking unit (18), inking the at least one engraving of the at least one forme cylinder (03) with at least one printing fluid embodied as ink, the at least one printing fluid that is embodied as ink being applied onto the at least one substrate (10), and the intaglio gravure printing press comprising at least one print head (04), characterized in that at least one printing fluid that differs from the printing fluid embodied as at least one ink is directly applied onto the at least one substrate (10) by means of the at least one print head (04), and that the at least one print head (04) directly applies its printing fluid onto the at least one substrate (10) at the at least one impression cylinder (01) along a transport path of the at least one substrate (10), downstream from at least one printing nip between the at least one forme cylinder (03) and the at least one impression cylinder (01).
