Flexographic printers are specialized machines used for printing on various materials, including paper, plastic, and cardboard. They utilize flexible relief plates, which allow for high-speed printing with vibrant colors. This technology is commonly used for packaging, labels, and newspapers due to its efficiency and ability to produce large volumes quickly. The process involves applying fast-drying inks, often water-based or UV-cured, to the flexible plates. As the plates rotate, they transfer the ink onto the substrate, creating sharp and detailed images. Flexographic printing is known for its versatility and is widely used in the packaging industry for products like food containers and labels.
