Flexographic Ink and Solvent

Flexographic inks are a type of ink that is used in the process of flexography, and is primarily used when printing packaging materials such as cardboard boxes, corrugated cardboard, paper bags, catalogues, flexible packaging  etc. The most important part of the printing process is the accurate application of the ink via the anilox roller etch pattern.  Black and Color Flexographic Ink can be used with either Hapamatic and Gottscho Flexo Printers.

If using printing on a non-porous substrate, the ability for the ink to dry immediately is critical. Therefore, using a solvent-based ink where the solvent evaporates thereby acting as a drying agent is a good choice. The solvent that flashes off in the ink well can be easily replenished.
