Vario-Klischograph K 181
  
         
 
The Klischograph scans a picture line by line, and the resulting scan signal is used to control a steel stylus, which engraves more or less deep cuts into the surface of a printing plate, depending on the grey
tone value of the pixel being scanned. The material of the printing plate can be either plastic or metal. This results in a screened printing plate for letterpress printing or for gravure printing.plate.
 
 
The functional extensions compared to the K 151 and K 155 are:
- Color-compatible thanks to the scanning head with color filters
- Scanning of supervision and review templates
- Original or plate sizes up to 34 x 48 cm
- Scale range: 1: 4 to 3: 1, continuously linear
- Screen rulings: 24 to 60, in steps

Using the same principle, the Helioklischograph was developed later, which engraves pictures and text with a diamond stylus into the copper surface of a printing cylinder for rotogravure printing. Such machines are still used today to produce rotogravure printing cylinders for high volume printing of magazines, catalogues, and packaging material..
The company HELL Gravure Systems GmbH & Co. KG in Kiel, which emerged from the Hell company, still produces this kind of machines.
