I. Outstanding Resolution and Clarity
The Principle of High-Precision Imaging Technology: Label flexo printing machines adopt advanced laser engraving plate-making technology, which can precisely engrave extremely fine dots on the printing plate. The size and distribution of these dots can be finely adjusted according to printing requirements, thus realizing high-resolution image reproduction during the printing process. For example, when printing label patterns with complex textures or fine lines, such as the delicate patterns on high-end cosmetic labels, the printing machine can clearly reproduce every detail. A minimum printing resolution of 150 lines per inch can be achieved, making the pattern edges sharp and the lines smooth. The text part is also clearly distinguishable, and there will be no blurring or ghosting even for extremely small-sized explanatory text.
Key Factors Affecting Clarity and Coping Strategies: The control of pressure during the printing process has a crucial impact on clarity. If the pressure is too high, it will cause excessive ink spreading and make the pattern blurred. If the pressure is too low, insufficient ink transfer may occur. Therefore, advanced label flexo printing machines are equipped with high-precision pressure sensors and automatic adjustment systems. They can monitor and accurately adjust the printing pressure in real time, ensuring the best pressure state under different printing materials and plate conditions, thus guaranteeing the clarity of printed products. In addition, the precision of the transmission system of the printing machine cannot be ignored. High-precision gear transmission and stable conveyor belt operation can effectively avoid image displacement or jitter during the printing process, further improving the clarity and stability of printed products.
II. Precision and Richness of Colors
The Core Role of the Color Management System: Modern label flexo printing machines are equipped with a professional color management system. This system accurately measures and analyzes the color characteristics of inks and establishes a detailed color database. During the printing process, based on the color information in the design draft, the system can accurately mix the required ink proportions and control the ink volume output of the printing machine, thus realizing accurate color reproduction. For example, for a specific Pantone color number in a brand logo, the printing machine can maintain a highly consistent color presentation on different printing batches and materials, ensuring the unity and stability of the brand image. At the same time, the color management system supports wide-gamut printing and can handle color information in a wide color space such as Adobe RGB, making the colors of label printed products more vivid and rich, meeting the needs of various creative designs and high-end product packaging.
The Connection between Ink Quality and Color Performance: The quality of ink directly affects the color effect of labels. High-quality flexo printing inks have good pigment dispersion, high concentration, and excellent gloss. Inks with good pigment dispersion can evenly cover the surface of printing materials, avoiding color mottling or uneven hue. High-concentration inks can achieve rich color effects with less ink volume, reducing ink drying time and printing costs. Good gloss can make the colors of printed products more vivid and enhance the visual attraction of products. In addition, the light resistance, water resistance, and friction resistance of inks also have an important impact on the long-term use effect of labels, ensuring that the colors of labels remain stable and are not easily faded or changed under different environmental conditions.
III. The Ultimate Pursuit of Overprint Accuracy
Advanced Overprint Positioning Technology: Label flexo printing machines adopt a high-precision photocell overprint positioning system. During the printing process, the photocell can detect the overprint marks on the printing material in real time and feed back the signals to the control system of the printing machine. The control system adjusts the relative positions of each printing color group precisely according to these signals, ensuring that inks of different colors can be accurately superimposed, achieving extremely high overprint accuracy. For example, when printing multi-color and complex patterns on labels, such as the color illustrations on food labels, the overprint accuracy can be controlled within ±0.1mm. The deviation between colors is almost imperceptible to the naked eye, making the color transition of the pattern natural, the edges neat, and the overall effect exquisite.
The Guarantee of Mechanical Structure Stability for Overprint: A stable mechanical structure is the basis for achieving high-precision overprint. The body of the label flexo printing machine is made of solid steel and undergoes precise processing and assembly processes to ensure the fitting accuracy and movement stability of each component. The plate rollers of the printing color groups are installed with high-precision bearings and axial positioning devices, which can effectively avoid axial displacement or radial runout of the plate rollers during high-speed rotation, ensuring the uniform transfer of ink and the stability of overprint accuracy. At the same time, the transmission system of the printing machine adopts synchronous belt or high-precision gear transmission to ensure that the transmission ratios between each color group are exactly the same, avoiding overprint deviations caused by transmission errors. In addition, the printing machine is equipped with an advanced tension control system, which can accurately control the tension of the printing material during the printing process, preventing the influence of material stretching or contraction on overprint accuracy, further improving the quality and stability of label printing.
