Flexo printing with accurate force outside domestic enterprises, flexo technology helps the green printing era

With the change of the main market of printing, the application and promotion of flexographic printing technology will be one of the most attractive bright spots of printing technology. Flexo became a market hot spot. During the rapid growth of the book and newspaper industry in the early years, the main direction of printing technology was basically concentrated in prepress processing, offset printing and other related fields. With the advancement of computer and network technology, the digitalization, automation, and networked technologies of prepress processing, offset printing have made rapid progress, and the related processes, materials, and equipment have changed rapidly. However, success is also Xiao He, and failure is also Xiao He. It is also the widespread application of the Internet and mobile technology that has greatly impacted the books and periodicals market. Correspondingly, printing technology has also entered a relatively fatigued period in these areas. It can be said that the bright spots are lacking. In contrast, the technological advancement in the post-press and packaging fields has become a new market hotspot, and it has gradually become a technology development in the printing industry. One of the focuses of suppliers and application manufacturers. As the technical focus, flexographic printing technology has its unique characteristics. Compared with gravure printing, the use of soft polymer resin plate material not only reduces the plate making cost and shortens the plate making cycle, but because of the improvement of plate manufacturing level and plate making technology, it is enough to meet the needs of general packaging printing. And zero-pressure printing not only reduces the vibration and abrasion of the machine and the abrasion of the plate, but also expands the range of printing media, especially for the printing of flexible materials. However, the flexographic printing technology in China has experienced a long period of praise and disapproval. The reason is that, on the one hand, the relevant technology was still to be broken at the time, compared with other printing technologies, the application effect gap is large; on the other hand The localization rate of related equipment and materials is very low, which makes the application cost higher. At home and abroad, with the downturn in the offset printing market, competition in related technologies has entered a bottleneck period, and the pressure on environmental protection in the printing industry has increased dramatically. Developers at home and abroad have begun to pay more attention to the growth space of flexographic printing technology, and have accelerated the promotion of flexographic printing technology R & D, many suppliers focusing on the offset printing market began to turn to the development and promotion of flexographic printing systems. Internationally renowned prepress equipment and material suppliers Kodak, Fuji, Esko and other companies have strengthened the promotion of new flexographic printing equipment and new materials, while the old flexographic printing material suppliers DuPont, Flint and other companies have also continued to New products such as flat-top outlets were launched. These internationally leading new results have made considerable improvements in the process of flexographic printing, greatly improved the effect of printed products, and provided the flexographic printing technology with the confidence to compete with offset and gravure. In China, Lekai Huaguang Printing Technology Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of pre-coated photosensitive plates (PS plates), has launched mature flexographic materials in recent years. The technology level has been continuously improved, which has provided a good way to reduce the production cost of flexographic printing. beginning. The China Academy of Printing Science and Technology focuses on the high-end flexible plates that are returning to the development trend of rubber-based substrates. It actively uses the funding of the National Cultural Development Special Fund to divest the traditional PS plate business and accelerate the pace of research and development of new high-end digital rubber flexible plates and Its supporting water-based ink. Coupled with the active participation of technology development suppliers at home and abroad, it is reasonable to believe that China's flexographic printing technology will achieve great development and prosperity.
