Can Flexo Printing Match OffSet?

[johnharris]

The answer is, both, “Yes and No.”
There are certain capabilities that offset does
better and there are certain capabilities that
flexo can do better. So, with today’s new
flexo process technologies, the question
now becomes, “Can offset match flexo?”
Flexo offers very high line screens,
minimum dots, strong colors and uniform ink
lay down and multiple in-line value-added
features such as:
-Metallic inks
-UV/aqueous and specialty coatings
-Hot foil
-Cold foil
-Embossing
-Reverse printing
-Hologram insertions
-Combination printing (flexo, screen,
gravure)
-Combined webs
-Multi-substrate capabilities

There are many interesting uses for flexographic printing, but printing high quality labels in the census is not one of them. There flexo press can match the quality of precision and detail in the UV waterless offset printing.
