In-Line Folding Carton Converting

The flexo process also enjoys some basic advantages. For example, it eliminates the need to balance water and ink, and produces a thicker ink laydown that delivers better color densities (more "pop"). Laser-engraved ceramic aniloxes provide consistent color from run to run. In addition, new on-press color management systems track and record color consistency for the entire production run, and flag or alarm the operator if there is a deviation. This enables flexo manufacturers to assure customers that they are delivering consistency throughout the production run and from run to run. In fact, the flexo printing process is much simpler from an operator point of view.
