Claim 14:
15. An intaglio gravure printing press comprising at least one gravure printing unit, the at least one gravure printing unit comprising at least one forme cylinder (03), at least one impression cylinder (01), and at least one inking unit (18), wherein:
the at least one inking unit (18) is arranged at the at least one forme cylinder (03) and provides a first printing fluid to the at least one forme cylinder (03), or
at least one ink collecting cylinder (12) is arranged at the at least one forme cylinder (03) and the at least one inking unit (18) is arranged at the at least one ink collecting cylinder (12), the at least one ink collecting cylinder (12) providing the first printing fluid from the inking unit (18) to the at least one forme cylinder (03),
the intaglio gravure printing press further comprising at least one print head (04), which is arranged at the at least one forme cylinder (03), and which is positioned with respect to the at least one forme cylinder (03) to apply a second printing fluid into at least one engraving on the at least one forme cylinder (03) prior to the first printing fluid being applied into the at least one engraving on the at least one forme cylinder (03) to enable the at least one forme cylinder (03) to deposit concurrently both the first printing fluid and the second printing fluid during printing onto at least one substrate (10), the second printing fluid forming, at least in part, a layer and/or film on the first printing fluid deposited onto the at least one substrate (10), the second printing fluid having a drying and/or curing behavior that is different from a drying and/or curing behavior of the first printing fluid.
