PackSim-Gravure Description
The PackSim-Gravure simulator puts a complete press - from unwind to web conditioner to print units to rewind ( or to cutter/creaser ) - at the user’s fingertips. It operates on a standard micro-computer, using a high resolution graphics card and two large monitors. One of the monitors displays the press control console, and the second monitor shows the printed result.
