What is flexographic printing

Description of the technology of flexographic printing, types of equipment for which materials are suitable, advantages and disadvantages. Learn about the form for this type of print.

Flexographic printing is one of the most common methods in advertising printing. This technology allows you to apply images on various surfaces, while it has high performance.

What is flexers

Flexopettes has a high level of accuracy drawing images . This method of printing works by using low -skis paint and elastic flexor. In addition, if we consider this method from the technical side, we can conclude that it is quite simple and does not require a long or costly preparatory process.

Flexography is one of the types of high print. In other words, in the process of printing, the printed shape is much higher than the surface of the application. To transfer images to the surface, specialists use cliches, which is a rubber elastic plate attached to the printed shaft. To apply the image to the surface, chemical graphics are used, that is, paint is applied to the cliche, and then the image is simply imprinted on the right material.

Flexo -printing technology

PLARSOGRAGICAL PLACE WORK is carried out according to the stages:

  • Initially, as in all many areas, a sketch of the application applied is prepared. Images with an abundance of halftones, as well as some fonts, are not suitable for flexo -printing. In addition, the entire sketch should take into account the features of the technological printing process. It should also be borne in mind that even a ready -made layout will have to be subjected to some adjustments at the last moment, taking into account the individual characteristics of the equipment used, and each model has its own;
  • The next stage is aimed at making cliche in a zir or analog method. The difference lies in the materials used. If in the first case reagents are needed to transfer the image, then in the second specialized equipment. But in any case, the form is ready to be dry and clean in front of the printing process itself;
  • Now that everything is ready, you can start the seal itself, which, by the way, can be carried out on various equipment. As a result, the specialist receives a ready-made product that does not require any additional manipulations.
  • Specialized equipment is required for flexes, in connection with which such a seal at home is impossible:

    • sectional printing machines have a separate knot for each color with a personal cylinder located
