Hi all,
I am very new to this forum and new to flexo printing too. I have a problem in my printing that I am willing to solve. We manufacture garment adhesive labels in our office and use both offset and flexo machines to do so. Being garment labels, our production involves using a lot of spot colors (you can say around 90%). We were traditionally using offset to print adhesives and have recently changed to flexo. Using flexo, the vibrancy is much better and the overall finish is good, but one slight problem still persists. I have attached a pic below clearly showing the difference. One is a photo of our job done is flexo and the other is in offset. In the case of flexo the colors are very vibrant but the problem is the junction where the colors meet. A dark line is formed when these colors meet and it is impossible to remove it. In the case of offset, it is very minute or absent. I would like to know if this is a nature of flexo because I have read elsewhere that offset produces very sharp images, or is it a problem in our design and registration. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Pruthvi.
