Advancing "White Opaque" Printing in Flexo: Apex International's Innovations

Welcome to our latest video, where we explore the groundbreaking strides that Apex International has made in advancing "White Opaque" printing-a pivotal aspect of the Flexo printing industry.
In this video, we delve into the crucial role of white opacity in Flexo printing, affecting the vibrancy and visual impact of designs. As the industry strives to balance profitability and quality, we highlight the challenges brands and retailers face in specifying desired opacity targets without clear methods to achieve them.
Key Points Covered:
•Ink Consumption: White ink can constitute up to 25% of a printer's total ink costs. We discuss how different approaches to achieving opacity targets impact profitability.
•White Opacity Tests: Apex International's extensive tests on wide web packaging markets, focusing on various anilox types, plate types, and micro-screening options.
•Narrow Web and Label Market: Our focus on high-opacity white printing with UV ink, tackling challenges like rheology, UV ink recipes, and reduced press speeds.
•Science of Ink Transfer: Understanding the transfer of liquid ink from an anilox engraving to a printing plate and onto a substrate, and our approach using standard plate screening and High-Volume Anilox rollers.
•Impressive Results: Showcasing samples with crisp, clean text and up to 83% white opacity achieved with a single-hit white print.
Join us as we push the boundaries of Flexo printing, striving for excellence in opacity, print quality, and overall efficiency. This project is a testament to Apex International's commitment to innovation and leadership in the dynamic world of Flexo.
