Flexography in Package Printing

HD Flexo also brings significant sustainability benefits as well, as it avoids any manual lamination of the plate. Therefore there is no film to dispose once the plates have been imaged. Moreover, thanks to the use of thermal technology for the processing of the plates, there is no need to use solvents, potentially damaging to the environment. Printers who work with plates generated from HD Flexo typically reduce makeready sheets required to get to acceptable color by 66 percent—resulting in much less waste.
