History

• The first flexography press was built in England
  and was called aniline printing
• The first rubber printing plates used aniline
  oil-based inks
• In the early days the technique was used mainly
  for the printing of food packaging

Evolution

• Originally flexography could not compete with
  offset printing.
• Since 1990 advances have been made in platemaking
  and flexography inks.
• By today full color picture printing is available
  and print quality can rival the lithographic
  process.

Mounting

• In flexography for every printed color a
  different plate has to be made, therefore
  mounting the flexographic plates need to be very
  accurate.
• Plates in Flexography have mounting marks, but
  since 2007 an automatic mounting machine (FAMM)
  is also available.

Printing

• The ink roll is immersed partly in the ink tank
  and transfers the ink onto the meter roll. The
  meter roll has a special texture that hold a
  certain amount of ink. Different meter rolls can
  be used for different print jobs. A doctor blade
  (meter scraper) removes excess ink from the meter
  roll.
