G7-certificated with DH flexographic printing machine

According to the report of Flexo Magazine, after several rounds of assessment, Shenzhen Dason Gift & Stationery company successfully obtained G7 certification and became the first flexographic printing company in China to obtain a certificate. The test model is DH F3 series flexographic printing machine.

Why is it difficult to do G7 certification for flexo?

On the one hand, general flexo printing compnay have commissioned other companies to make plates, prepress color management and print color management are out of touch, it is difficult to use G7 method system to calibrate and control color.

On the other hand, it is mainly for cognitive reasons. In the past, domestic flexo printing generally used relatively low-line printing of 110LPI for relatively rough printing, and it was considered that flexo printing was difficult to do G7 certification; and preconceived thinking that flexographic software and hardware conditions and offset printing were Compared, the gap is relatively large, and G7 is difficult to carry out.

At present, new flexo plate making technologies is constantly being introduced, and the precision of the laser engraving machine has reached a very high level, so that the high-line flexographic version of 150 lpi and above can be easily produced, even if 1% of the dots can be firmly established.  The increasing color density of water-based inks is becoming more and more popular, the advancement of anilox technology, the density of printed solids reaching or exceeding the level of offset printing, and the innovative technology of flexographic printing machine, the control of flexographic printing pressure is getting better and better, which makes The process control of flexo printing is becoming more and more standardized, and data is being digitized, making G7 certification gradually become a reality.

The machine used in the test is DH F3 series flexographic printing machine. This model adopts many advanced technologies including independent servo drive, automatic ink supply, sleeve technology, etc., together with its stable mechanical structure, to ensure the printing precision to the utmost extent. . Since its launch, it has been sold to China, Korea, Chile and other countries. Applications include gift packaging, paper bags, carton printing, label printing and many other industries.
