Optimization of offset and flexo UV/UV LED printing processes for labels

The accurate color recreation, the quality and printing consistency are all key factors to stand out in the production of a print-out.

A printing machine correclty monitored, profiled and defined, is the key to reach high quality results, chromatic accuracy and printing consistency, reduction of start-up time and waste

A color management system well built and monitored during the productive cycle, the right cooperation between the pre-printing department and printing department, are key elements to reach a high level

A color management system well built and monitored during the productive cycle, the right cooperation between the pre-printing department and printing department, are key elements to reach a high level.

In addiction, it’s possible, upon request, to attend colour management training courses, on-site or at our seat, which can help to improve the quality of printing, color reproduction and coordination between the pre-printing department and printing department.

our technical support will provide with an optimization and characterization of the printing machine in a 6-step process

1

Machine regulation and controls

By following the indications of the producer we will proceed with the optimal adjustment of the machine, with calibrations decided according to the characteristic of the materials used for printing.

2

Definition of materials and accessories

Testing and defining the materials and products to be used during the printing process by evaluating the suitability, compatibility and quality (inks, rubber blankets, machinery ect.

3

Check of the printing quality 

Control testing on the printing quality (uniform drafting of solids, definition of nets, colour texture, absence of defects, return and discharges of ink, register stability.

4

Normalization of the printing machine

Control testing on the evaluation and normalization of TVI curves for four-colour process and spot colours, applied on several materials (coated papers, natural smooth and drawn papers, plastics.

5

Characterization of the printing machine 

Definition of the ICC profiles of the machine to ensure the right reproduction and repeteability of the colour. Optimization of the K generation curve to reduce ink consumption

6

Printing Final check 

Shapes testing printing for the final quality check, correctness of the colour and perceptive aspect of the printed.
