All current HELL engraving machines are already fitted with HD Gravure as standard. However, in many cases all it takes is a simple software update to bring older HelioKlischograph systems up to the new level of quality, too.
HD Gravure creates the conditions for even better printing results – improved edge focus when converting line and text originals, precise detail reproduction and high level of colour fidelity. 4Packaging from Germany, A&R Carton from Austria, and Chemosvit from Slovakia have all been able to boost the quality of their engraving using HD Gravure.
This showed that even engraving machines built as far back as 2013 can be fitted with the key modules of HD Gravure Multi-Tune, High-Quality Hinting, and HellHybrid through simple software updates. The HelioSprint engraving systems of these plants can just as easily be prepared for MultiTune engraving during regular scheduled maintenance. The rule for engravers built previous to 2013 is that they must undergo a technical clarification.
In HQH Pro and XtremeEngraving, however, two further HD Gravure modules are available that can generally be used regardless of the age of the engraving machine. In many cases, launching HD Gravure is therefore incredibly easy.
