What is a Flexo Printer? A Comprehensive Guide by Keshenglong

In the dynamic world of industrial printing and packaging, understanding the nuances of various printing technologies is crucial. At the forefront of these technologies is the flexographic printer, commonly known as a flexo printer. Here at Keshenglong, we have harnessed the power of flexo printing since our inception in 1995. Our journey from humble beginnings to becoming a leading manufacturer of carton printing and packaging machinery in China has been driven by our commitment to innovation and quality.  

Understanding Flexo Printing

Flexographic printing is a technique that utilizes flexible relief plates to print on various substrates, including plastic, metallic films, cellophane, and paper. This versatility makes it a favored choice, especially in the packaging industry where diverse materials often need to be printed quickly and reliably.  

How Flexo Printers Work

A flexo printer operates by transferring ink onto a substrate through a series of rotating flexible plates. The process involves several steps:

1. Ink Transfer: Ink is applied to the printing plate via an anilox roller. The roller's surface features tiny cells that control the amount of ink transferred.

2. Impression Cylinder: The substrate is pressed against the plate cylinder using an impression cylinder, ensuring exact pressure for a sharp print.

3. Drying: After the ink is transferred, it undergoes a rapid drying process, allowing for high-speed production without compromising quality.

 

Advantages of Flexo Printing

Flexo printing offers several advantages that have propelled its widespread adoption and evolution:

- Speed and Efficiency: Flexographic printing is renowned for its high-speed capabilities, making it ideal for large-scale printing tasks.

- Versatility: Able to print on a variety of materials, flexo printers are perfect for diverse applications in packaging.

- Low Costs: The rapid production process and minimal setup time translate into lower costs compared to other printing methods.

- Environmentally Friendly: With water-based inks and reduced wastage, flexo printing is a sustainable option for eco-conscious businesses.
