Flexographic colorimeter ZY-RB01

Introduction to flexographic proofing machine:

The ZY-RB120 flexographic printing spot color proofing machine is designed and produced by imitating the working principle of printing machines. The proofing machine has adjustable pressure and a wide range of substrates, making it suitable for use in packaging and printing production, paper production enterprises, ink production enterprises, scientific research institutions, and other departments. The research on spot color sampling machine accurately predicts the hue of ink through standard sampling.

Suitable sampling materials: paper, plastic film, non-woven fabric, napkins, gold and silver cardboard, etc

Core features of color display instrument:

After the ceramic roller rotates evenly to apply ink, the printing material and plate cylinder start synchronously and rotate once to complete the sampling work. The ceramic roller and printing material cylinder
Synchronize with the operation of the printing plate cylinder to ensure the quality of the sample.
The four structures of scraper, ceramic roller, printing plate cylinder, and printing material cylinder can adjust the pressure independently on both sides, making the adjustment flexible;
The mesh roller and scraper are easy to disassemble and assemble
Adopting a large drum structure, installing printing materials, installing and cleaning printing plates is simple and convenient.

Q1: What is a Flexo Proofer and why is it essential for the packaging industry?

A: A Flexo Proofer, or Automatic Flexographic Ink Proofer, is a precision instrument designed to simulate the actual flexographic printing press environment. It is essential for ink manufacturers and packaging printers because it allows for accurate color matching and printability testing on various substrates without the need to stop a production-scale press. This significantly reduces downtime, ink waste, and material costs.

Q2: How does an Automatic Flexo Proofer ensure color consistency?

A: Our Automatic Flexo Proofer uses a microcomputer to precisely control the three critical variables: Printing Speed, Printing Pressure, and Ink Volume. By integrating a high-precision ceramic Anilox Roller and a doctor blade system, it ensures a uniform ink film thickness. This eliminates the human error associated with manual drawdowns, providing highly repeatable ΔE (color difference) results.

Q3: What are the technical specifications of the Anilox Roller used in the proofer?

A: We offer customizable laser-engraved Ceramic Anilox Rollers with various cell volumes (BCM) and line screens (LPI). This allows users to match the ink transfer characteristics of their specific production presses. The rollers are easily interchangeable, enabling rapid testing of different ink coverage and density requirements.

Q4: What maintenance is required for the Anilox Roller and Doctor Blade?

A: To maintain precision, the Anilox Roller must be cleaned immediately after each test to prevent ink from drying in the cells. We recommend using specialized cleaning solutions and soft brushes. The doctor blade should be checked regularly for wear and replaced periodically to ensure a clean wipe and consistent ink film thickness.
