Flexographic printing is capable of producing very high-quality images on a variety of substrates. Despite highly automated, precise measurement and control systems on today’s flexographic presses, color accuracy is still limited by variations in ink viscosity. To understand the importance of viscosity measurement and control in flexographic printing, we look at the effects of viscosity deviations on the Delta E 2000 values of an actual printrun.
In this FTA Membernar, Dr. Joe Goodbread of Rheonics shows how the accuracy and stability of viscosity control using the Rheonics InkSight can substantially reduce the initial value of Delta E 2000 as well as its consistency throughout a run. He demonstrates how the print consistency achievable with the award-winning InkSight system exceeds the traditional color accuracy specification to reduce setup time and cost, while improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
