WHAT IS FLEXO PRINTING TECHNIQUE AND HOW TO DO?

Flexo printing is the fastest and most economical printing system.

Flexo printing is the most common printing used in packaging printing.

Flexo printing on rough, uneven surfaces; Carton, kraft, corrugated board, plastic films forming all the flexible packaging are applied on aluminum foil.

altunpack has designed flexo presses to print prints such as wet tissue paper, stick candy packaging.

When choosing Flexo printing machine; 2 color flexo printing machine, 3 color flexo printing machine, 4 color printing machine or 5 color flexo printing machine. Which colors should be chosen? 2-color flexo printing machine with 1 color and 2-color color printing allows 2-color flexo printing machines are generally preferred by companies that produce sugar. The reason is the development of the market in that direction and the lack of advertising space of the wrapped sugar. It is more convenient to print up to 2 colors as the print area of ​​the wrapped sugar is small. The 3 color flexo printing machines are preferred for the printed candy, stick candy and stick salt or colonial handkerchief prints. 3 color flexo printing machines offer up to 3 colors printing. Up to 3 colors can make logo print. 4 color flexo printing machines are the most preferred printing machine for the above-mentioned examples. The reason is 1 color, 2 colors, 3 colors, 4 color printing as well as offers the possibility to print photos. 4 main colors (C, M, Y, K (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) Yellow, Red, Blue and black, these main colors.

In addition to the photo, 5-color flexo printing machines allow the varnishing process called UV lacquer. UV lacquer treatment gives the print a more vivid and glossy appearance, and also prevents scratching.

Felxo printing working principle;

Flexo printing ink put on the paint tray is transferred to the plate by the cells of ceramic anilox. The stripping blade (dr. Blade) removes excess paint from the ceramic anilox, leaving only the paint on cells above the ceramic anilox.

The surface of ceramic aniloxes are covered with cells that are too small to be visible. These cells are selected in different characteristics according to the type of printing. For example, if the floor is to be printed, the ceramic anilox with a low density and low volume should be selected. 120L / CM 12 vol. 120 is the number of cells within 1 cm square. If the vol determines the volume of that cell to how many gr. determines whether to spend the paint. If the photo is to be printed, then the opposite value should be selected. 300 L / CM as

(As in the example, one of the developments in flexo printing is anilox rollers. The engraving is a new technology product which is extremely suitable for the plasma-coated anilox rollers made using laser.

The paint remaining on the ceramic anilox is transferred to the plate. This paint that adheres to the plate is transferred to the printed packaging and this output takes place in a short time. In flexo printing, solvent based paint is generally preferred. Solvent-based paints are volatile and can be dried in a very short time. Solvent dyeing is preferred because it does not come out of the printing surface like water-based paint and brighter color than water-based paint.

Cliche; It is a flexible mold and adhered to the printing drum called the platemaking cylinder with a special double-sided tape.

In flexo printing, clogs washed with water are very common and easy to obtain. Ozone-resistant printing plates are one of the newest discoveries that prevent the ink from cracking ahead of time.
