Flexographic printing is a modern printing technique that uses flexible relief plates to transfer ink onto various surfaces. It is commonly used for packaging materials, labels, and newspapers. The process allows for high-speed printing and can accommodate a wide range of inks, including water-based, solvent-based, and UV inks. This method is known for its efficiency and versatility, making it suitable for both short and long print runs. Flexographic printers can print on diverse substrates, such as plastic, paper, and cardboard, making it a popular choice in the packaging industry.
