Hello,
In regards to printing Photopolymer Photo Gravure, What does the size (diameter) of the upper roller have to do with a press's ability to print this plate? Is it the amount of pressure that it can apply to the plate?
Also, is there a rule of thumb about how wide a press bed should be in proportion to the size work one wants to print?

thank you,

Robert Newcomb
