providing a workaround for the very high dot gain associated with
flexographic printing.
Process overview
1. Platemaking
The first method of plate development uses light-sensitive polymer. A film
negative is placed over the plate, which is exposed to ultra-violet light.
The polymer hardens where light passes through the film. The remaining
polymer has the consistency of chewed gum. It is washed away in a tank
of either water or solvent. Brushes scrub the plate to facilitate the
"washout" process. The process can differ depending on whether solid
sheets of photopolymer or liquid photopolymer are used, but the principle
is still the same. The plate to be washed out is fixed in the orbital washout
unit on a sticky base plate. The plate is washed out in a mixture of water
and 1% dishwasher soap, at a temperature of approximately 40C. The
unit is equipped with a dual membrane filter. With this the environmental
burdening is kept to an absolute minimum. The membrane unit separates
photopolymer from the washout water. After addition of absorb gelatine
for example, the photopolymer residue can be disposed of as standard
solid waste together with household refuse. The recycled water is re-used
without adding any detergent.[4]

Operation
Operational overview
1. Fountain roller
The fountain roller transfers the ink that is located in the ink pan to the
second roller, which is the anilox roller. In Modern Flexo printing this is
called a Meter or "metering" roller.
2. Anilox roller
This is what makes flexography unique. The anilox roller meters the
predetermined ink that is transferred for uniform thickness. It has
engraved cells that carry a certain capacity of inks that can only be seen
with a microscope. These rollers are responsible to transfer the inks to the
flexible-plates that are already mounted on the Plate Cylinders.
3. Doctor Blade (optional)
The doctor blade scrapes the anilox roll to ensure that the predetermined
ink amount delivered is only what is contained within the engraved cells.
Doctor blades have predominantly been made of steel but advanced
doctor blades are now made of polymer materials, with several different
types of beveled edges.
4. Plate cylinder
The plate cylinder holds the printing plate, which is soft flexible rubber-like
material. Tape, magnets, tension straps and/or ratchets hold the printing
plate against the cylinder.
5. Impression Cylinder
The impression cylinder applies pressure to the plate cylinder, where the
image is transferred to the substrate. This impression cylinder or "print
Anvil" is required to apply pressure to the Plate Cylinder.
Flexographic printing inks
The nature and demands of the printing process and the application of the
printed product determine the fundamental properties required
of flexographic inks. Measuring the physical properties of inks and
understanding how these are affected by the choice of ingredients is a
large part of ink technology. Formulation of inks requires a detailed
knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of the raw materials
composing the inks, and how these ingredients affect or react with each
other as well as with the environment. Flexographic printing inks are
primarily formulated to remain compatible with the wide variety of
color, low UV-resistant variety that offers the widest color gamut. UV
ink is generally duller in color but withstands fading from UV rays.
Similar in general principle to desktop inkjet printers. Finished prints
using dye inks must be laminated to protect them if they are to be
used outdoors while prints using UV inks can be used outdoors unlaminated for a limited time. Various substrates (media) are available,
including canvases, banners, metabolized plastic and cloth. Aqueous
technology requires that all materials be properly coated to accept and
hold the ink.
Solvent: this term is used to describe any ink that is not waterbased. Piezo inkjet printers whose inks use petroleum or a petroleum
by-product such as an acetone like carrier liquid. "Eco-Solvent" inks
usually contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters and are slower
drying. The resulting prints are waterproof. May be used to print
directly on uncoated vinyl and other media as well as ridged substrates
such as Painted/Coated Metal, Foam Board and PVC. The solvents
soften the base material and allow the ink pigments to mechanically
latch on to the chemically etched surface. Certain ink manufacturers
have different bite based on what solvent carriers they use. Which is
what makes solvent ink prints more durable than aqueous inks.
However, solvent inks give off strong odor or fumes when drying, as
the carrier fluid dissipates through applied heat from the printer's
platen. The are various levels of solvent ink range from "True or Full
Solvent" to "Medium/Mild Solvent" all the way down to "Eco-Solvent".
The fume and odour levels decrease accordingly, so does the surface
etch of the base material. Full to Medium/Mild Solvents require fume
extraction to be considered safe in the working environment. Most EcoSolvents can be used in an office environment with minimal or
tolerable odor levels.
Dye sublimation: inks are diffused into the special print media to
produce continuous-tone prints of photographic quality.
UV: Piezo inkjet printers whose inks are UV-curable (Dry when cured
with UV light). The resulting prints are waterproof, embossed & vibrant.
Any media material can be used in this technology, polymer made
media are best. Ceramics, glass, metals, and woods are also used with
printing with this technology.

Rise and Rise of flex printing in India
Flex printing future is on rise in almost all cities in India may it be Mumbai,
Delhi, Chennai, Kolkatta, Lucknow, Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam, earlier
flex printing was confined only to the banner printing for political parties
at the time of election. There used to be serious shortage of flex printers
as the quantum of work used to be huge, so it is today. To get the quality
output and maintain healthy relation with these printers, parties used to
pay them handsomely and a good relation prospered between them. Now
slowly with India Inc. growth in last 10 years, printers are seeing a
dramatic shift in their customer base with many printers solely printing

these printers are regional, they can make merry at Ward, General and
National elections of their region only which comes once in 5 years.

Process
Digital printing
Digital printing can be done in various ways. Two technologies dominate
the industry:
In 2009 both techniques jointly accounted for around 15% of the total
volume of print.
Digital printing is increasingly utilized for print jobs that were previously
printing using offset, flexo or screen printing.
In short run small format (A3 size) printing, digital is taking over
from offset for both color and B&W printing. Quick printers and copy
shops print digitally on presses from vendors like Xerox, HP, Canon,
and Konica Minolta.
In book printing publishing companies start to rely more on print-ondemand. The Espresso Book Machine pictured below is well suited
