What are GTT's key innovative features?

  • Geometry GTT's patented Open Slalom ink channel geometry replaces closed-cell geometry which traps ink and instead employs the efficiency of hydraulic kinetics - freeing your ink to flow unobstructed and allowing in to transfer evenly to the plate.
  • Composition Our superhard hybrid ceramic layer features the highest density and lowest porosity in the industry for incredible ink release to plate.  This is in addition to superior longevity, score resistance and easier cleaning.
  • Engraving Our ConstantBeam™ laser engraving process replaces conventional pulse engraving beams, greatly reducing uneven ceramic roughness and recast.  Smooth, head and precise channel walls emerge which serve to release ink better and extend cylinder life.
