How Flexographic Printing Machines Work
A Flexo printing machine operates on the principle of flexible relief plates that transfer ink onto a wide variety of materials. The process is efficient, high-speed, and suitable for continuous roll-to-roll production. Here’s a simple breakdown of how it works:
Ink Application: Liquid ink is applied to the raised surface of a flexible plate mounted on a cylinder.
Image Transfer: The plate presses against the substrate (paper, film, or foil), transferring the inked image.
Drying: The substrate passes through dryers between color stations to fix the ink.
Rewinding: The finished web is rewound onto rolls, ready for cutting, laminating, or further converting.
Flexographic printers are known for their versatility - they can print on materials like paper, plastic, metallic films, and cellophane with exceptional consistency and speed.
