Flexography printing
Flexography printing is constantly growing in popularity within the market by providing ever increasing print quality and flexibility in using of different inks and substrates. The sleeves technology has brought acceleration in speed, simplification and lower costs when replacing a printing form and within printing itself. Quick development of direct laser engraving and new generation of elastomers allow to achieve a very high printing quality.
Thanks the intensively material development and unique innovations in the production process became LIGUM worldwide leader in supply of elastomer covered sleeves.
Type of sleeves:
- for direct laser engraving with C02, YAG or diode lasers
- for solid printing
- under seamless photopolymer
- others
Typical elastomers:
- EPDM, SBR, NR, NBR, Silicones, Copolymers
Typical hardness:
- 40° - 80° shore A
Benefits of direct engraved elastomer covered sleeves:
- excellent transfer of all printing inks
- possibility of printing seamless motives
- no plate lift
- optimal register
- increased press speed
- high resistance to solvents (ethyl acetate, ethanol, mek)
- high durability of printing form
- possibility of combining several materials
- possibility of setting mechanical properties
- conductive sleeves
- environmental friendly
- possibility of regrinding and recovering of already used sleeves
Gravure printing
Gravure printing as a technology with high printing speed and quality places high demands on the performance of impression rollers or sleeves = pressers. Additionally to mechanical demands, long lasting stability in gravure printing inks is important. Pressers with electrostatic printing assistance (ESA) are breaking through more and more with the growing demands on increased printing quality.
