Explanation:
concordo com as distinções da colega Christa Mayer-Loos. Contudo, encontrei várias vezes a expressão "roto gravure machine", e a busca de imagens em ingles e portugues mostra aparelhos semelhantes. O facto de se tratar de material computorizado sugere um processo menos "clássico" que as gravações a ácido ou a buril.
