Jukka Ponkamo
The first wide rotogravure presses were installed during the late 1980’s in Europe. The number of these presses is increasing along with the need for wide rolls (jumbo rolls) to feed them. The first wide rotogravure presses have now been installed in U.S.A. After initial searching for proper ways to successfully wrap these jumbo rolls to withstand transportation to the pressroom, a number of practices with new technologies and materials have emerged.
