2. Copper Plating

Capital Engraving - COPPER PLATING
Our partner engineering company has the capabilities to manufacture steel cylinder bases. The base rotates in a bath or tank filled with a copper sulphate solution. Depending on the special requirements of the gravure cylinder, electro-mechanical surface treatment completes the preparation of the base which improves engraving quality of the cylinders.

3. Polishing & Finishing

The copper-finished cylinder then goes through a process of polishing and finishing to achieve the required size in preparation for engraving. Our ACIGRAF (Italy) Super Prefast Machine prepares optimal quality copper surface balance to minimize the tolerance and achieve evenness of the cylinder.
