Adjustment of Flexographic Printing Plate to Meet Qualitative Requirements

: Flexography is nowadays widely used in the packaging production. It is characterized by flexible printing plates and low viscosity printing ink which enables printing on a wide range of printing substrates. Adjustment of the flexographic printing plate to match qualitative requirements includes consideration of the basic parameters in the digital printing plate making processes (Computer to Plate). It is known that the flexibility of the printing plate and deformations that occur during the reproduction process are considered to be the technological limitations of this technique. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to define and present a model for the adjustment of the procedures included in flexographic printing plate making in order to achieve optimal reproduction results. Results of the investigation have shown the necessity of defining a closed reproduction system which includes and combines three segments: printing plate, printing system and the printing substrate.
