Chill rollers are necessary when you are running bare film printing with UV inks, and when the curing unit is connected too closely, chill rollers avoid film expansion. I don't think it impacts printing on carton material.

My advice is to check with volume of labels. Digital Roll to Roll machine can help you but die cutting and special colors are the challenge. Narrow web flexo machine can do online. But investment is the challenge.

Hi Vedo, 1. UV dryers are must if you are using UV inks. No alternative for this. If your machine is configured for water base, check with dryers, may be temperature also impact on material. Is digital print help here? 2. sleeves are the alternative solution for continues print. Go for it.

Hi, My advice is too go with Esko

definitely yes, design your file completely, (step n repeat file) along with bearer bar n marks you needed on the plat before you distort the file.

Hi All, Please explain UV ink curing system in flexo.. 1. What is the intensity required for UV ink curing and what is the time.

Yes it is required special foil bond. what type of inks you are using.. UV inks or water based?

Illustrator and only illustrator
