Do you have control over your ink viscosity?
Do you have control over your ink viscosity?
February 25, 2020 | Daywey Chen
How important is it to have control over your ink viscosity? Ink viscosity affects how well your ink is able to transfer over from the anilox to the plate, and from the plate onto the printing substrate. It affects how well your ink will dry on the substrate. In general, your press production speed, and the quality of your print is highly correlated to the ink viscosity. In Flexographic, having a suitable ink viscosity makes all the difference.

What’s the difference between SCADA and HMI?
What’s the difference between SCADA and HMI?
March 25, 2019 | Daywey Chen
Industry 4.0 is about the connection and communication between machines and systems to ultimately reach decision making with the absence of a human. More and more data are gathered throughout the production process. The machines get smarter with the increasing amount of data to work with. As a result, the production process becomes more efficient and productive and less wasteful. The ideal situation is to form a network of these machines that are digitally connected with one another to create and share information that results in the full power of Industry 4.0

Water based ink V.S Solvent based ink
September 28, 2018 | Daywey Chen
Typically speaking water-based ink could be considered if your application is to run at slower printing speed and on an absorbent substrate. The water-based ink that consists of much less organic solvent could provide printers with less VOC emission issues to worry about. At KYMC we had a customer that ran solely on water-based ink as VOC emission permits are required in the region. As the sales orders fluctuate from month to month, the VOC emission permit may be insufficient or excessive depending on the order quantity of that month. To avoid this issue...

AM Screening V.S FM Screening
AM Screening V.S FM Screening
August 30, 2018 | Daywey Chen

Must Know Screening Concepts to Succeed in Flexo Printing

AM screening and FM screening both has its advantages and disadvantages. In general FM screening are more suitable for details images, highlights, and shadows. AM screening performs better in mid-tones. FM are more consistent in its ink delivery, therefore, some say that it is able to produce a very stable appearance. This could be good things unless your print doesn’t match your proof. When the mismatch occurs, it will be difficult for press operators to tweak the appearance on the press. As Technologies advances, the newer XM screening takes advantage of AM & FM screening to produce to better print quality.
