Flexography in Package Printing

Improvements in the platemaking room
In order for the quality of flexo printing to rival other technologies, specially offset, the flexo platemakers (services and printers) can use solutions able to combine high-resolution optics with an exceptional screening output. Devices capable of combining 4,000 dpi HD optics with unique screening technologies deliver the advantage of sharper and more accurate imaging. This combination makes it possible to achieve outstanding print quality with a straightforward plate production process. Just as significant, this technology is very easy to use and there is no longer any need for tweaking or adjustments. Moreover, the rounder dot shape produced thanks to this technology combination, means that they are more stable on press, resulting in longer print runs with the same printing plate—even more than standard digital flexo plates. With longer print runs, the press stops less often for wash-ups, resulting in greater productivity.
