Description
Summary:Flexographic technology usage is increasing in recent years. Predicted growth in the technology usage intensifies the demand for improved quality. It is expected that flexographic printing will achieve greater results than ever before. Since this technique is used in the printing of shrink sleeve packaging, it is imperative to meet the technical and economic requirements of the shrink sleeve product. This is primarily to ensure gliding of the white printing material. The amount of white should be as small as possible, making the sliding of the material optimal and the quality of the print better. Therefore, the quality of the printing was measured by changing the conditions of slippage and white color. This research has established a correlation between the thickness of the white layer and the reduction of print quality over thin lines.
