Flexography is a direct rotary printing method that uses relief plates made of rubber or photopolymeric materials.
The advantages of flexographic printing are essentially threefold:
The fact that the main solvent is water is a very important aspect for packaging biodegradability, buyer safety, and the safety of food products contained in plastic films. These inks are particularly suitable for printing on paper and cardboard.
Small amounts of organic solvents are present in the various ink series to regulate drying characteristics and on-press resolubility.
