(2) Point of printing of organic thin film by flexographic printing

To produce a printed matter of a uniform film thickness with the flexographic printing, a high degree of accuracy in the printing process such as the following is needed.

Printing elemental technology


The point in printing accuracy is in the stability of ink transcription from the printing plate to the printing object. Therefore, high machine accuracy and vibration control measures are very important.
Furthermore, as the printing film becomes thinner, instability in drying process must be avoided. The preliminary drying that is effective in shortening the production tact requires full surface temperature uniformity.
