Flexo Printability of Publication Grades - Technical Challenges of Publication Flexography

Details:

Year: 2001

Pages: 12

Summary:

Three publication grades (news, supercalendered and light weight coated paper) were printed on Comco Commander 3-color flexo press at 700 ft/min using two types of ink: general purpose water based publication flexo ink and news water based flexo ink. Printability differences between the three grades printed with two different inks are shown. Mottling was worst at LWC substrate using both types of ink. The best print uniformity was found at SCA paper with both ink types. SCA, on the other hand, caused the worse show-through.
