The tranScribe® Engraving System
For GRAVOSTAR engravers
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 sample images. On the right is the prepress image data from Collage. On the left is actual tranScribe with AccuEdge engraving. Both images are much magnified from the actual data to be printed.

The tranScribe Engraving System is an option for Gravostar engravers, including the GS 857 and for the GS 827. The system has two parts: the tranScribe Engrave head and Collage software.
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.
Note: As HELL's XtremeEngraving is to Klischograph engravers, so tranScribe is to Gravostar engravers.
