FAQ

Q1: What are the main types of printing machines?

A1:Flexographic printing: Suitable for flexible packaging; uses rotary plates.

Offset printing: Best suited for high-resolution paper/board printing.

Digital printing: Economical and suitable for short runs and personalized printing.

Gravure printing: High-volume, high-quality output achieved through engraved cylinders.

Q2: How do flexographic printing presses ensure color consistency?

A2: Kingplast machines utilize a closed-loop color control system. Sensors measure ink density in real time, and a servo-driven anilox roller automatically adjusts ink flow. This minimizes human error and maintains Delta E variance within ±0.15.

Q3: Which industries benefit most from flexographic printing?

A3: Key industries include:

Food/Pharmaceutical: Compliance with safety ink standards.

Retail: High-speed production of shopping bags and labels.

E-commerce: Durable printing on shipping envelopes and protective films.
