The pattern on the printing plate is prominent, the blank place is concave, through the anilox rollers to transfer ink, generally printed with water-based and UV inks, can reach 400 meters per minute. Flexographic printing is also a kind of letterpress printing.
The printing pattern on the surface of the printing plate is concave, the blank space is protruding, the printing ink layer is very thick, the color is bright, the line is clear, and the saturation is high. Solvent-based ink and water-based ink are available!
The graphic part and the blank part is in the same plane, to the surface of the printing plate inking, only the graphic part of the adsorption of ink, plate work is simple, low cost, suitable for large quantities of printing, mainly using solvent-based inks.
The printing plate consists of a number of small sieve holes, non-graphic part of the mesh is coated with a photopolymer coating sealed, printing adaptability, thick ink layer, three-dimensional sense of strong, bright colors, mainly solvent-based ink.
