Rotogravure Printing Inks Market: Intensive Research Growth Avenues in Industrial Printing Processes, By 2024

Rotogravure is an industrial printing process primarily used for high-speed production of large print runs at constant and top quality, also known as “photographic quality image.” Many magazines are printed using the gravure process, as advertisers want their products promoted in the best way possible. A large number of mail order catalogs are printed in gravure because the products must look attractive and also demonstrate what is on offer. Therefore, catalogs must all look the same. The constant print quality of the gravure process meets this requirement.

Rotogravure is capable of transferring more ink to the paper than most other printing processes. It is noted for its remarkable density range (light to shadow) and hence is a process of choice for fine art and photography reproduction. The image may or may not typically be as clean as that of offset lithography.
Rotogravure Printing Inks: Market Dynamics and Trends
Polymer blends for hot melt inks (HMI) for rotogravure printing were prepared on the basis of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) or polyethylene (PE) chemistry. Commercially available thermoplastic polymers are characterized based on their rheology by manufacturers using the melt flow index (MFI). It is a single-point viscosity measurement at a relatively low shear rate and temperature. 
Gravure is gaining momentum due to the various improvements in technology such as ultrasonic gravure cylinder plating, which is significantly faster than traditional copper plating. Publication presses are now as wide as four meters. Development of gravure presses for packaging is directed toward short runs, which may help the process stay competitive. High printing speeds reduce dot gain and dot distortion. This improves print quality. Electrostatic assist reduces the number of skipped dots and improves the uniformity of ink distribution within the dot. 
Global demand for rotogravure publication presses and rotogravure inks for mass-scale and continuous rotogravure printing is increasing. Gravure printing is likely to grow further, due to the continual refinement in the process, inks, and gravure presses. Rotogravure inks are chemical based; therefore, water-based inks are increasingly being used considering the health hazards and risks of rotogravure inks. The usage of water-based inks for packaging was abandoned due to the slow drying rates. These inks were replaced by toluene. Water-based inks are making a comeback due to the rise in concerns about health hazards in using solvents such as toluene.
Currently, research is underway to create new-generation inks that do not have any sort of dangerous effluents of carcinogenic properties.
Rotogravure Printing Inks: Market Segmentation
Based on the type of inks, the rotogravure printing inks market has been classified into water based and solvent based (solvents such as ethylene vinyl acetate, toluene, and carnauba wax mixture).
Based on the viscosity of ink, the rotogravure printing inks market has been segmented into liquid inks, screening inks, and paste inks. Based on the colorants used, the rotogravure printing inks market has been bifurcated into pigments based and dyestuff based.
Rotogravure Printing Inks Market: Region-wise outlook
In terms of region, Europe is the leading manufacturer of rotogravure printing inks. It is followed by Asia Pacific, North America, and Latin America.
Rotogravure Printing Inks Market: Key Players
Flint Group is the leading manufacturer of rotogravure printing ink in the world. Other players are DIC Corporation (formerly Dainippon Inks and Chemicals), T&K Toka Co. Ltd., Wikoff Color Corporation, Toyo Ink LLC, Xinxiang Wende Xiangchuan, Sun Chemicals, and Sánchez SA de CV.

Oil and Gas Pipeline Leak Detection Equipment Market Driven by Stringent Government Regulations

Although renewable resources of energy have gained substantial popularity in the recent past, there is no foreseeable limitation to the escalating demand for oil and gas, with the growing population and rapid urbanization. Consequently, the demand in the global market for oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment is projected for a robust CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period of 2016 to 2024, according to a recent report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). As per the estimations of the TMR report, the global oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market will be worth US$3.65 bn by the end of 2024, significantly up from its evaluated valuation of US$2.02 bn in 2015. Some of the key factors augmenting the demand in the oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market are: development and expansion of existing pipelines and construction of new pipelines, increasing incidents of oil and gas leakages in pipeline and storage tanks at production facilities, and

Welding Products Market Growth in Wind Power Sector to Create Opportunities, TMR

The global welding products market is moderately fragmented with the key players such as Lincoln Electric, ESAB, and ITW leading in the market. These three players accounted for a collective share of 30% in 2013, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). This market is capital intensive and thus, local vendors find it difficult to compete with the larger players. Local players are unable to compete with large players on the basis of quality, services, functionalities, and features. Thus, these small players are entering into the market by introducing products that are low in price. Some of the players operating in the welding products market are: Voestalpine AG, Sonics & Materials Inc., Fronius International GmbH, Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc., Arcon Welding, Bohler, Panasonic, Daihen Corp, and OBARA Co. In order to increase their production capacities and focus on innovations, companies are adopting the strategy of merging or acquiring other players. Acco

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid prototypi
