About Flexo printing machines you need know these details

Flexo printing machines use a roughened roller to transfer ink for printing, which is a kind of printing process known as flexography.

The text and image part of the flexible printing plate is raised, and during printing, the screen roller evenly applies a certain thickness of ink layer onto the text and image part of the printing plate, after which, under the pressure of the impression roller, the ink layer in the text and image part is transferred to the surface of the substrate, forming clear text and images. The ink delivery mechanism of a flexo printing machine is usually a two-roller ink delivery mechanism.

Printing characteristics

(1) The use of pollution-free, drying-fast water-based inks is highly beneficial for environmental protection.
(2) These inks have the characteristics of being soft, bendable, and elastic.
(3) Printing is conducted using light pressure.
(4) There are a wide variety of materials suitable for Flexo printing.
(5) The products come in a variety of designs and vibrant colors, combining the clarity of offset printing, the softness of gravure printing, and the thick ink layer and high gloss of intaglio printing.
(6) The production efficiency is high, and it can complete multiple processes such as double-sided multi-color printing, gloss coating, lamination, gold foiling, die-cutting, waste removal, winding, and slitting in a continuous operation.
Flexo printing can greatly shorten the printing cycle, reduce costs, and enable users to gain a competitive edge in the highly competitive market.
(7) The printing machine is easy to operate and maintain, and it can be used with printing unit rollers of different repetition lengths, making it particularly suitable for packaging prints with frequently changing specifications.
(8) High printing speed.
(9) Low investment with high returns.
