In gravure printing, the image is engraved onto a [[cylinder (geometry)|cylinder]] because, like [[offset printing]] and [[flexography]], it uses a [[rotary printing press]]. Once a staple of newspaper photo features, the rotogravure process is still used for commercial printing of magazines, postcards, and corrugated (cardboard) and other product packaging.
