ABSTRACT
Throughout the printing industry, flexography, or flexo, has established its reputation as a quality printing process bearing comparison with letterpress, gravure, and offset, which have been used industrially for many years. Today, the whole packaging sector and other areas of the printing industry would be unthinkable without this highly economical quality printing process. This is attributable primarily to the high flexibility flexo offers, its qualification for a wide range of materials, the large and variable range of print repeat lengths, the different press widths available, and the quite extraordinarily high production speeds. Other advantages include the highly diversified flexo press specifications and the possibility of using flexo in line with other printing techniques and processing operations.
