Gravure for PE
The Advantages of Gravure for Printed Electronics
Daetwyler R&D has nearly 30 years of experience designing and manufacturing equipment for the gravure printing industry. Now we bring that expertise to the printed electronics market.
Gravure printing is well-suited to printing electronics.
Gravure's Strengths
- High resolution = high accuracy
- Long life of printing roll
- Print on a variety of substrates -- Direct application of ink
- Variable Ink Film Thickness
- Large range of acceptable ink viscosities
- Lowest marginal cost due to lack of waste, long printing roll life, and high print speed
Versatility
Gravure is excellent for:
- applications requiring the highest resolution
Example: High Density Circuits - applications requiring large ink lay-down using gravure's third axis (Z depth)
Example: Photovoltaics and Batteries
Cell Definitions: X - Y - Z
With its ability to define cell shapes with X - Y - Z axes, gravure provides a unique ability to create a wide variety of cell shapes.
X and Y Axes
Gravure adds a third axis at high resolution and high speed.
Z Axis (Depth)
