Why Inkjet Will Ultimately Replace Flexo and Gravure?

Last update on Aug 25, 2017
Inkjet Replacing Flexo and GravureOver the past twenty years or so, we've seen how flexography has eaten away at the market once dominated by gravure printing. Flexo did so because:

  • It's print quality improved
  • Changeover times were faster

Also, it was simply cheaper to make a rubber or photo-polymer flexo plate than it was to fabricate a gravure cylinder. Flexo was king of short runs, and flexo presses could be set up in just about any small industrial space.

Well, things are changing once again...

Inkjet or digital printing is quickly turning out to be the go-to printing method of the future, and here's why.

Let's take a look at the 5 advances that are making inkjet, an ultimate flexo and gravure replacement.
