UV - It's Good ... But Be Careful

Some general do's and don'ts

Some of those in the UV flexographic industry have offered some simple do's and don'ts of running UV flexo. According to Jim Flynn, printing technology, Gallus Inc., it's important to have a spotless pressroom. "UV flexo attracts the dust, and the goal is to keep the process pure and impurities out." Flynn suggests using a stickyback lint roller when cleaning the flexoplates or removing dust, because chemicals and excess rubbing can damage and reduce the life of the flexo plate.
