Product Characteristics Of Flexographic Printing Machines

The reason why flexographic printing machines have developed at a constant speed is not only due to technological breakthroughs in board and ink, but also because of their inherent characteristics, which are important reasons for attracting users.
1. The machine has a simple structure, making it easy to operate and maintain. The price of flexographic printing machines with the same function is about 30-50% of that of offset or gravure printing machines.
2. The material has strong adaptability, and satisfactory printing effects can be achieved from 0.22mm plastic film to 10mm corrugated cardboard.
3. The imprinting force is small, about 19.6-39.2N/m2, especially for printing on substrates such as corrugated paper that cannot withstand excessive pressure.
4. The low printing cost is mainly due to the cheap machine price, low plate making costs, low paper loss rate during the printing process, and production costs that are 30-50% cheaper than gravure printing.
5. The print quality is good. The use of a short ink path inking system with a mesh roller not only simplifies the structure of the inking system, but also enables quantitative control of film thickness. The breakthrough in high-performance photosensitive resin plate technology has greatly improved the resolution of the printing plate and the reproducibility of dots (up to 1-95%). Flexographic printing can achieve a 300 line/in color layered draft printing, and the printing effect can be compared to offset and gravure printing.
