Adjusting Water-based Flexo Printing for Different Paper Box Surfaces

In the paper box printing industry, the surface of the paperboard can significantly impact the water-based flexo printing process. Zemeijia has been focusing on adjusting the printing process to accommodate various paper surfaces, ensuring high-quality and efficient production for customers.

How to Adjust the Printing Process for Rough Paper Surfaces?

Rough paper surfaces tend to absorb ink more quickly, which can lead to uneven printing. To address this, Zemeijia increases the ink viscosity and adjusts the anilox roller settings to ensure a more consistent ink transfer. This helps maintain the clarity and consistency of the print on rougher surfaces.

What Changes Are Needed for Smooth Paper Surfaces?

Smooth paper surfaces, such as coated papers, require a different approach. The ink drying time is longer on these surfaces, so Zemeijia adjusts the drying settings and uses a thinner ink film to prevent smudging. Additionally, the printing pressure is fine-tuned to ensure optimal contact between the plate and the smooth surface.

By making these specific adjustments for different paper surfaces, Zemeijia consistently delivers high-quality water-based flexo printed paper boxes. This tailored approach not only enhances the visual appeal of the boxes but also ensures efficient printing processes, reducing waste and production time.
