Abstract
Flexible package printing will become the focus of package printing in the future. In the domestic market, some printers have tried to introduce flexo printing and gravure printing using water-based ink for flexible packaging. These printing methods can solve issues such as solvent odor, residual solvent, and emission of VOC for gravure printing. Water-based ink for flexo printing is the best solution, because the content of the solvent in water-based ink for flexo printing is less than that for gravure printing. In addition, the DLE flexo production system and the solvent free lamination system will enhance the value of flexible products, which are printed by flexo printing using water-based ink.
