Sungravure Pty. Ltd was owned by Associated Newspapers Ltd until 1953/54, when it was taken over by Fairfax as its colour publishing division. The division published Pix magazine as well as other iconic Australian magazines such as Women's Day and People, and later Cosmopolitan and Dolly. The printing plant was closed in the 1970s as litho offset printing overtook rotogravure. Sungravure also printed and distributed comics for many other Australian publishers.
Some publishers used diverse publisher names in their comics. These can reflect distinct operating divisions, but may just disguise operations in the face of bans or censorship. Ausreprints records minor variations as they can help dating for undated comics.
