Description
|
The five types of printing presses used for flexographic printing are the stack type, central impression cylinder (CIC), in-line, newspaper unit, and dedicated 4-, 5-, or 6-color unit commercial publication flexographic presses. All five types employ a plate cylinder, a metering cylinder known as the anilox roll that applies ink to the plate, and an ink pan. Some presses use a third roller as a fountain roller and, in some cases; a doctor blade for improved ink distribution is applied.
Enclosed doctor blade systems (sometimes called chambered doctor blade systems) improve print quality and provide environmental benefits. With the use of these systems also is a tremendous economic and environmental compliance advantage.
