Flexographic printing is capable of achieving high quality printed images at high production speeds, making it a popular choice in the food packaging, textiles and label printing industries, especially for longer print runs.
The printing plates are mounted onto cylindrical plate rollers, which are then loaded into the flexo press, with each required color positioned in successive print stations. As each roller rotates, the plate collects ink from the inking roller and then transfers the inked image onto the substrate. The wet ink then passes through a dryer, before the next color is printed.
