flexo printing solutions
Evolving flexo printing
Environmental measures, improvement of image quality, support for small lots, high variety, and short delivery times
Film flexo printing has been developed for only limited applications because of the wide variation in print quality.
However, due to technological innovations in plate making, printing machines, and peripheral materials, printing image quality has improved, making it possible to provide the market with features that are environmentally friendly and compatible with small lots.
Prepress
The formation of FTD (Flat Top Dot) enables high quality and stable image quality reproduction. Technological advances in plate materials and exposure machines contributed.
Inks
Oil-based flexo ink is the mainstream overseas, but inquiries about water-based flexo ink are increasing in Japan. Expanded lineup that can be used for various applications.
Printer
Various types of printing presses have been developed, including CI type, unit type, and stack type, and the development of functional printing machines that can handle small lots and a wide variety of products is progressing.
Materials & peripherals
Cushion tape and anilox affect density and reproducibility. Improvements in doctors, cleaning equipment, etc. contributed to increased productivity.
