  2. Flexography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexography

    Flexography (often abbreviated to flexo) is a form of printing process which utilizes a flexible relief plate. It is essentially a modern version of letterpress , evolved with high speed rotary functionality, which can be used for printing on almost any type of substrate, including plastic, metallic films, cellophane, and paper.

  3. Flexographic ink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexographic_ink

    The main types of flexographic ink are water based, [2] solvent and UV curable. [3] The printing surface (substrate type) dictates what ink type it is advisable to use.Each type of ink has its advantages and disadvantages, therefore the type of ink used in printing is determined by factors such as price, speed, and the use of the packaging (food, cleaning, or shopping bags).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing

    Flexography (also called "surface printing"), often abbreviated to "flexo", is a method of printing most commonly used for packaging (labels, tape, bags, boxes, banners, and so on). A flexo print is achieved by creating a mirrored master of the required image as a 3D relief in a rubber or polymer material.

  6. Rotary printing press - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_printing_press

    Flexography is a relief system in which a raised image is created on a typical polymer-based plate. In stamp collecting, rotary-press-printed stamps are sometimes a different size than stamps printed with a flat plate. This happens because the stamp images are farther apart on a rotary press, which makes the individual stamps larger (typically ...

    An anilox roll. In printing, anilox is a method used to provide a measured amount of ink to a flexographic (flexo) printing plate. [1] An anilox roll is a hard cylinder, usually constructed of a steel or aluminum core which is coated by an industrial ceramic, typically chromium(III) oxide powder, whose surface is engraved with millions of very fine dimples, known as anilox cells.
