Some suggestions on the introduction of flexographic technology

As the flexographic printing technology and equipment have the advantages of low investment, wide application range, extensive use of materials, and favorable environmental protection, and especially it is more suitable for the needs of packaging and printing. Therefore, in recent years, the development of flexographic printing in China has developed rapidly. It is understood that at present, nearly one hundred flexo printing production lines have been introduced across the country and distributed in over 50 printing plants in more than 20 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country. Shaanxi Printing Machinery Factory also trial-produced a six-color unit-type flexo printing press last year, which has now been mass-produced. Plates, anilox rollers, etc., which are compatible with flexo printing, have also been successively produced. Flexo platemaking centers have also been established in Shanghai, Dalian and Xi’an. However, due to various reasons, the current domestic production of flexo printing is unbalanced. Summarized, generally divided into three situations: First, accurate equipment selection, supporting a good solution, the company basically mastered the flexographic process and technology, and can be skilled in operation. Such manufacturers have sufficient sources of livelihood, full business, high equipment utilization, stable product quality, and good economic returns. Shanghai People's Printing Eight Factory belongs to this type. Second, the task is not full, there are some problems in equipment matching, and thus the equipment utilization is not high, the economic benefits are generally. Third, there are many problems in the livelihood shortage or the lack of tasks, equipment support, and process operations. Therefore, the economic efficiency is very poor. Based on the above three situations, the following suggestions are made so that the introduction of flexographic printing technology and equipment in China can proceed smoothly. First, companies that have already introduced flexographic printing technologies and equipment must do everything possible to solve the key problems in the production of flexo printing, operate the equipment as soon as possible, and further create better economic and social benefits. At the same time, it is also hoped that the agents and manufacturers of flexo printing equipment will help these companies solve specific problems and provide assistance in supporting and process operations. It is necessary to “build up a horse and send a ride”. It is necessary to establish a good image of flexo production technology and to play an exemplary role in promoting the development of flexographic technology in China. Second, enterprises that are preparing to introduce flexographic technology in the near future hope to do a good job of investigation and feasibility studies. The first is the market survey. The most important thing is to find out whether there are tasks (ie, living sources) and what types of tasks are there. Do not appear phenomena such as “the absence of rice” and “wait for the rice to wok” to avoid blind introduction. Cause loss. The second is to do a good job in equipment selection, such as unit/satellite/stacked, paper printing/plastic film printing, stickers/other products, wide/narrow, etc. As for which manufacturers at home and abroad are equipped with advanced equipment and reasonable prices, they must do some research in order to gain a foothold in the fierce market competition.
