Recent development of flexographic printing in Jap

In October 2010, the 2010 Japan flexographic printing annual conference hosted by the Japan flexographic printing technology association after a buffer transition period of nearly one year was held in Youming, Tokyo. The author attended the annual conference at the invitation of the Japan flexographic printing technology association and Shanghai Sun Machinery Co., Ltd., and made an exchange speech entitled "recent development of China's flexographic printing industry market" at the conference. This is the first technical exchange between the flexographic printing branch of China Printing Technology Association and Japan flexographic printing technology association. During the meeting, Chinese representatives had technical exchanges with Japanese experts and visited Japanese flexographic printing enterprises

as we all know, the Japanese printing industry is very well-known for its dedication to the quality of printing products. In the past, flexo printing technology has not yet developed mature, and the quality of flexo printing products can not meet the needs of the Japanese market for the time being. Therefore, the Japanese printing processing market is mainly dominated by lithography and gravure printing processes, and flexo printing processes are difficult to participate in the market of high-end packaging products

in recent years, due to the rapid improvement of flexographic direct plate making technology and the performance of supporting equipment and equipment, the quality level of Japanese flexographic printing products has been comparable to that of rubber and gravure printing products, and has obtained a good quality reputation in the field of corrugated boxes, flexible packaging, self-adhesive labels, plastic film packaging and printing products. Like other countries in the world, Japan has an increasing awareness of developing a green, environmental friendly, low-carbon and sustainable economic development model, and has long been put into enterprise independent action

the contents of the conference showed the recent development trend of Japanese flexo printing industry. The theme of the conference focused on the introduction of the application of wide width CI flexographic press, the use of water-based environmental friendly ink, the environmental protection treatment technology of wastewater such as ink waste, the new processing technology of corrugated roller, the combined processing technology of soft film digital printing and flexographic printing, the application of combined narrow width flexographic printing in packaged products, the new development of digital direct manufacturing technology, Esko HD point technology, direct seamless engraving technology, printing plate materials and other led-uv curing technology And the consulting company introduces the conditions and procedures for printing enterprises to strive for national financial support in environmental protection and low-carbon projects

from the perspective of the assisting units of the conference, the participation of Japan gravure Technology Association proves that Japan's gravure industry has a trend of transformation to flexo printing. Japan's flexo printing industry has introduced world-class FK and wh wide width CI flexo printing machines since 2004, and is equipped with advanced automatic control of the pressure of wrinkle roller and plate roller, AVT color and easy-set pressure. Since 2, the loading handle is a little loose and needs to be tightened; Since the floor area of the device is as compact as that of the CI model, the cascade model also has a certain market

from the speech of the two-day meeting and the usual trip to the food supermarket, the author saw that the situation of the flexographic printing market in Japan is similar to that in China. It has been quite popular in corrugated boxes, handbags, milk boxes, ink printing, etc., but in the sales and packaging of goods, quality is still the most important, and most flexible packaging products are printed in intaglio, Flexographic printing (Japan satellite Hill printing company) is only used on the pre Installation Preparation package of soft 1 for small batch (half dozen) beverage transportation

it is reported that as the largest gravure packaging and printing enterprise in Japan, Toho Processing Co., Ltd., encouraged by the concept of environmental protection, decided to introduce the first soma flexo MIDI CI ink flexographic printing unit in Japan, which is represented by Heidelberg [product space] Japanese company. The company will also use CTP's direct plate making technology to process and print OPP at a speed of 150-250 meters/minute with a line of 150lpi Soft wrapped aluminum materials such as pet are 0.5731 euros/kg. It can be seen that in order to meet the high-quality requirements of the Japanese printing market, the starting point of Japan's flexo printing industry from concave to soft will be relatively high. In terms of self-adhesive labels, multi printing process combined unit type flexographic printing equipment will also be used to process high-end label products. As a famous manufacturing enterprise in Japan, the booth of sun Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. exhibited the exquisite labels and packaging products printed by the company's unit type and CI type flexographic printing machines, and launched the ink satellite flexographic printing models with the width of tcf250, 450 and 800 series to meet the printing processing needs of the flexible packaging film product market
