Flexo printing has been a popular printing method for decades, known for its ability to print on a variety of substrates and produce high-quality images. However, with the rise of digital printing, many are wondering if flexo printing is becoming obsolete. In this post, we will explore the question: Is flexo printing digital?
First, let’s define what we mean by “digital printing.” Digital printing refers to a printing method that uses digital files to print images directly onto a substrate. This is in contrast to traditional printing methods, such as flexo printing, which use plates to transfer ink onto the substrate.
So, is flexo printing digital? The answer is yes and no. While flexo printing is not a digital printing method in the traditional sense, it has evolved to incorporate digital technology. For example, many flexo printers now use digital prepress workflows, which allow for more precise and efficient plate production. Additionally, some flexo printers have integrated digital printing capabilities, allowing for the printing of variable data and short runs.
However, it’s important to note that flexo printing still has its advantages over digital printing. Flexo printing can produce higher-quality images and is better suited for printing on certain substrates, such as corrugated cardboard. Additionally, flexo printing is often more cost-effective for larger print runs.
In conclusion, while flexo printing is not a traditional digital printing method, it has adapted to incorporate digital technology and remains a valuable printing method in the industry. As technology continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how flexo printing continues to adapt and innovate.
