FLEXOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATES: Dots Geometries

Introduction Flexography is a high speed printing technology for various printing substrates mainly used in packaging industry. The greatest changes in flexo printing occurred due to computer-to-plate (Ctp) making technology which has improved the reproduction quality with a wider tonal range and in more detail, particularly in the highlight area. These evolutionary changes were continuously …

Pressure-sensitive… Why is it called that?

Pressure-sensitive… Why is it called that? INTRODUCTION It’s called “ pressure-sensitive” (PS) because all it takes is pressure to effect instant, all over bonding. Unlike other types of labeling, PS requires no glue, no water, and no heat. To apply a pressure sensitive label, just pull away the Backing (the liner) from the PS material …
