Research on Reproduction Characteristics of Digital Laser Plate

Abstract:

Flexographic printing is growing at explosive rate now. With many kinds of plate has introduced, digital laser plate becomes mainstream technique. By experiment method, the microscopic of digital laser plate was analysis, the difference of platemaking process and printing results between digital laser plate and traditional plate was detail probed and the reproduction characteristics of digital laser plate were discusses. Results showed that digital laser plate brings smaller dot gains, broader color gamut and higher printing contrast; it greatly improved the quality of flexographic printing.
