Advantage of flexographic printing machine

The flexographic printing machines we are talking about now are basically divided into stacked flexographic printing machines and satellite flexographic printing machines(also called CI type flexo printing machine). In fact, there are many advantages of this flexo printing process. In addition to the advantages of high overprinting accuracy and fast speed, it actually has great advantages when printing large-area color blocks, which is comparable to gravure printing.

Because the flexographic printing machine uses a ceramic anilox roller to accurately control the ink load, when printing large-area color blocks, only about 2~3g of ink per square meter is required without affecting the color saturation. Gravure printing requires 5g/m2 or even higher (some article data shows 4~6g/m2), plus the solvent used, the actual cost of ink use is much higher than that of flexo printing. Another advantage is that users are concerned about the issue of energy consumption. Due to the relationship between the flexographic printing structure, ink, and amount of ink, it does not require too much heat to completely dry the printed job. . Therefore, usually an 8-color flexographic printing machine, under the premise of a speed of 300m/min, uses an electric heating power of no more than 80KW/hour.

Other printing methods usually require more than 150kw/hour of energy consumption, or even higher. For the current domestic electricity situation is not optimistic, this can be said to be very good news.
