J.M. Heaford Limited has been manufacturing a range of precision-engineered gravure proofing presses since 1983 and is the world leader for this type of equipment. The machines, which are used by both cylinder engravers and printers, can print offline an in-register production quality proof using the same components (cylinders, inks, and substrate) as used in the press, removing the burden of customer approvals from the production press. In addition to checking the separation, text, and register, the proof can be used to establish the correct colors and ink standards, which will eliminate press downtime caused by these issues.
