Printing plate
Flexography uses a flexible printing plate made of rubber or photopolymer. The plate has raised areas that correspond to the image or text to be printed.
Inks
Liquid inks are commonly used in flexography. These inks are often water-based or solvent-based and can be formulated to adhere well to a variety of substrates.
Anilox roll
An anilox roll is used to meter and transfer a controlled amount of ink to the printing plate. It has engraved cells that hold and release the ink onto the plate.
