What isFlexography |Disscuss Process ,Prons and Cons

The rival of Gravier after lithography and all the other printing processes, discuss all of them about the process advantages and disadvantages also.

what is flexography
The first thing is that how many cylinders are used in flexography well there is a total of four Cylinders used. One an impression plate and other one is called a fountain plate, the other two are used to naturally in printing plate, and the last one is used similarly to offset 203 that bring the ink onto it.

Fountain cylinder first and how the ink is onto the printing plate. Is there is a little box or if you want to call it that where ink is then poured into in which or ink tray wherever you want to call it in which there is then the fountain cylinder.
Which is then submerged in ink and that’s what picks up the ink. One filling that here submerged in ink it then takes it to another cylinder which then has a doctor’s blade is now what a doctor’s blade.
There’s a cylinder here, and then a doctor blade is here, and you can set it to different dimensions here to show you how much ink you want to deposit on that last cylinder. The doctors of blade quite far away then all of that ink is passed, and so you get like a lot of thinking the doctors made will stop that if you want thin coats, you would have to dr. Spaeth quite close to it and then you get ink build-up here, but then you get a thin layer around that cylinder.

The last roller rolls naturally with the printing plate on it, and the way this works is that it has an etched printing plate. The parts that raise then get covered by ink this then goes round onto the paper with an impression roller. That the ink is into the material and we’ll talk about elements later but a thing to note here is that flexography is can only web-fed feeding.

The materials used in flexography can print off, the documents that flexography can print on are nonabsorbent and absorbent materials .this is because of the way it’s on a raised surface, why flexography is used printing on chocolate wrappers if shiny surfaces and it can on the like paper and everything. But it’s mostly used for little plastic bags and stuff like that.

Advantages of using flexography when printing and that there’s quite a long list. The quality can print high-end graphics and secondly because it’s got that something cylinder. It’s already submerged in ink its speed is rapid, and it’s swift also it’s due to its rapid rate it’s also cost effective and can print on absolutely any it.


Disadvantages of using flexography in the printing process so first things first I stated before it can only be web-fed. Which is quite limiting in what it can print set-up cost is also a lot due to the rollers the number of rollers used the material is actually ceramic and also the potential ink wasted obviously we know that in an ink tray what if that ain’t get contaminated the whole the whole plates got to go of a disadvantage is that any changes that are really time-consuming change it’s a few women have an overview and the process we talked about oddly phantoms and the four cylinders.
