Flexographic Printing Trends (below)

The dro onDemond inkjet printer manufactured by Hewlett-Packard and other manufacturers displays color inconsistencies, content, and continuous exposure, etc., has a high degree of color matching capability, and is very inexpensive, with various sizes and low prices. This means that these devices are very suitable for fine proofing.
Like offset and gravure, flexo also uses computer plates to increase prepress speed. The first such machine has been in operation for more than three years. There is no doubt that the digital version has improved the print quality of the flexo.
Like all new technologies, the first CTP flexo was bulky, functional, and expensive, which limited its market.
The small-format CTP machines produced by Barco and CreoScitex recently ensured dynamic changes in flexography. This device is cheap, and we expect that the processing industry will buy more CTP machines, probably in line with the printers, because they have work processes and digital graphic technology.
In addition, how can we improve the prepress speed? We observed the workflow of designers, printers, and processing environments. We believe that the next technological development will speed up the process of communication between the three (in fact, the development of this technology has already started), and the new technology will enable packaging buyers to more actively participate in every process of printing. Come at the same time as getting the required speed improvement.
Expanding the use of digital tools and increasing the use of the Internet will facilitate the development of these technologies.
The designer's current working environment is actually a digital environment that can provide a wide variety of document texts. The texts of these files eventually led to the output of the appendix. Using Acrobat PDF files as standard texts will help eliminate appendix errors and facilitate the development of special jobs and management systems between networks.
Designers develop PDF files, conduct local data proofing, and then deliver the file to the buyer so that buyers can generate proofs on their own, then the buyer can either return the file or send it to the printer, and the printer can produce the product. "Proofing," and at the same time, it is also possible to carry out the necessary printing work, and then return the documents to the buyer in order to obtain the buyer's final determination. Once it is confirmed, the film, version, and PDF files are sent to the processors for making and printing.
Using a wide range of networks and common file texts will make it unnecessary to send files and proofs from one place to another. Of course, these are contrary to the globalization of the packaging industry.
Finally, let us see how to speed up platemaking. On this point, we believe that improvement can be made. As anyone who has seen flexo plates knows.
Flexo-plate solvent flushing is a time-consuming process that requires several expensive processing equipment and requires a lot of space. Because it is a solvent, there is a problem of environmental pollution, and its processing requires special skills.
For the above reasons, flexographic printing is usually done by printers, and they have close contact with the processing manufacturers.
Seeing the above, it is natural for people to think that the timing of the improvement and speed-up of this printing has matured.
Due to these issues, DuPont has recently developed the Cyrel Rapid System. This new technology will cause a revolution in platemaking, and will make plate making the speed we need.
The Celie Rapid System is actually a hot-processed version, meaning that the entire process is completely dry. Since no solvent is needed, plate-making time is greatly reduced, and the processing process is also faster without drying.
Because there is no solvent, there is no need to handle and recover the solvent. HVAC needs and outdoor construction costs can be minimized.
As you can see, the benefits of saving plate time are enormous. If you only consider the time saving factors of CTP, especially when the CTP is located near the printing press, you can find that the time saved is very large. If you replace the solvent cleaning system with your local Cellay Express system, you can save hours or even days.
This is not just a technical breakthrough in flexography. When you combine an all-digital workflow with computer-making and Celery rapid platemaking technology, it means that flexographic processing can be done in a timely manner.
The fully digital drying plate system was demonstrated live on the LabeExpo in Chicago in September 2000. The system was then produced a set of six-color plates measuring 4x12 inches in size.
The system includes Apple's Photoshop and Freehand, a low-cost digital proofer, a small format machine, a UV exposure device, and of course, the Cyrel rapid thermal processing system.
It usually takes 10 hours and 15 minutes from the start of proofing on a Mac to the completion of plate making. Of course, in practice, this will vary depending on the size of the size and the number of color groups.
Rapid plate making will be very beneficial to the entire packaging industry.
On-machine platemaking allows processors to correct and modify the plates one minute before platemaking is completed. If a bad version occurs, it is also very easy to repair. These two advantages naturally increase production capacity and are beneficial to the sound development of the industry.
For flexo, the improvement of production capacity, the reduction of the production cycle, and the improvement of product quality all contribute to the sustainable development of the industry and obtain more profits than other printing methods.
Finally, and most importantly, rapid plate making will give packaging buyers the competitive advantage they need, namely speed.
If we look back at the previous working methods, we can clearly see how these technologies are combined to make packaging processing faster.
Workers in the digital workflow environment can transfer their design plans to the buyer. The buyer conducts the review and proofing in the local area and then passes it to the printing factory. After receiving the design, the printing house carries out the production work. And output contract proofing and layout proofing, the output digital file to the buyer for final decision. Once determined, the data can be transmitted to local printing plants for production.
This kind of work flow minimizes delays in the transport link under efficient transmission methods. This is the best method of timely delivery compared to previous transmission methods.
As marketers and packaging professionals, they must have the ability to quickly respond to the market because:
This is what the customer expects;
This is what the packaging company owner requires and what the investor requires;
This is a necessary condition for maintaining competitiveness.
In this demonstration, we are trying to demonstrate the new technologies and new trends in flexo. At the same time, let everyone know what functions of flexo have to meet the customer's economic, quality, and speed requirements in order to make full use of market opportunities.
We hope that packaging professionals will make easy choices when they face hard choices every day.
