gravure
(redirected from heliogravure)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

gravure

One of the three main printing methods, in which printing is done from a plate etched with a pattern of recessed cells in which the ink is held. The greater the depth of a cell, the greater the strength of the printed ink. Gravure plates are expensive to make, but the process is economical for high-volume printing and reproduces illustrations well.
