The tranScribe Engraving System is an advanced technique combining the normal electromechanical gravure advantages -- consistency, repeatability, and ink capacity -- with something unexpected: superb linework sharpness.
The tranScribe system is more than just high resolution engraving: using fine engraving screens can lose ink volume even with the sharpest stylus. The tranScribe method maintains cell volume for maximum printability.
The maximum cell depth with tranScribe is 55µ.
Following are pictures of printed samples. The same Kanji characters engraved with traditional engraving and then with tranScribe:

The tranScribe Engraving System is an option for the GS 857 and for the GS 827.
Note: While tranScribe was introduced for CCS over a decade ago, only Collage provides the tranScribe Filter Editor for complete control over all settings, including Horizontal and Vertical Edging.
