A unique kind of non-plastic bag was brought to the streets of Miami for the ProChile Innovative Summit. The completely biodegradable bag became the winner of Latin America’s innovation award. The product was produced by Patricio Cabezas, a former engineer at a major Chilean plastic manufacturing plant. He told EFE, “First I helped create the […]
The flexographic printing plate can be described as the heart of flexographic printing, as it has a decisive influence on a label printer’s print results and production efficiency. There are well over 40 different flexographic printing plates on the market for label printers, but all of them vary in terms of their properties, print behaviour […]
Quick Start What is there to say about gravure? That the cells transfer ~40%, and that’s it. Recent practical and theoretical work on cell emptying provides some insights into what is going on, but they don’t really help much. Sorry! There is surprisingly little to say scientifically about gravure printing. This is partly because there […]
Quick Start Rather than an app, there is a link to a YouTube video describing how screen printing really works. This is totally different from how most people think it works. It was a victory for science that my article in Specialist Printing The Laws of Physics in Screen Printing won the ASDPT Swormstedt […]
There aren’t many scientific papers addressing the key step in flexo printing which is the actual printing process where rubber+ink meets the substrate then rubber leaves the substrate with … well, with what? This lack of science is rather sad because there is another aspect of flexo that has been a great mystery: solid colours […]
Anilox Rolls | Practical Coatings Science | Prof Steven Abbott Anilox Rolls Quick Start There are some surprisingly tricky trade-offs in choosing the right anilox cell pattern. If you want a reasonable % transfer, say 40-50% then the choice of Print and Anilox LPC (multiply by 2.5 if you want LPI), Depth and ink Viscosity […]
