In gravure printing, the image to be printed is transferred to a:
(A) zinc plate
(B) butter sheet
(C) carbon tissue
(D) plastic disc
Correct Ans: (C)
Explanation:
In gravure printing, the printer transfers the image to a carbon tissue. The printer creates an image on a surface coated with carbon tissue, which then produces the engraved image on the printing cylinder. Printers commonly use this technique for high-quality and high-volume printing, particularly in packaging and magazines.
The other options, such as zinc plates, butter sheets, and plastic discs, do not typically relate to the gravure printing process. Printers use zinc plates in other printing techniques, butter sheets have no direct connection to printing, and plastic discs do not transfer the image in it.
