Flexographic printing machine and digital printing machine are both printing equipment, each with its own characteristics and scope of application. The following are the main differences between the two:
Working principle:
Flexographic printing machine: Using the principle of rolling printing, the characters and images are first printed on the flexible plate, and then transferred to paper through the printing roller, which is suitable for mass production. The flexible plate is made of rubber or plastic, and the ink is transferred through the raised parts of the image.
Digital printing machine: Using cutting-edge digital printing technology, the electronic file is directly imported into the equipment, and the pattern or text is printed on the paper by inkjet or electrochemical method using the print head. No plate making is required, one page is printed, and the color is formed at one time.
Application area：
Flexographic printing press: It is popular due to its fast printing speed, high printing precision and low cost, and is particularly suitable for various packaging, label and commercial printing fields.
Digital printing press: It is widely used in many fields including personalized gifts, home decoration and furniture market, personalized products and personalized imaging consumer products market. It can fully meet the diversified printing needs of personalization, small batches and fast delivery.
The different characteristics of flexographic printing presses and digital printing presses：
Flexographic printing machine:
Suitable for large-scale production, especially for packaging printing (such as food packaging and labels). Fast speed, low cost, bright and stable colors, can print on various materials (such as paper, plastic film, metal foil, etc.).
Digital printing machine:
Meet small-scale and diverse printing needs. No plate making is required, fast printing from digital documents, short manufacturing cycle. Supports customized and variable digital printing, such as QR code, barcode, etc. Excellent printing quality, can handle complex images and gradual color change, relatively high unit price, more suitable for short-term operations.
Flexo printing machine is suitable for large-scale, high-quality printing needs, while digital printing machine is more suitable for small-batch, diversified printing needs. In practical applications, businesses should reasonably choose the printing method based on their own business characteristics and needs to achieve the best economic benefits.
