Printing dot, line fineness also gradually close to offset printing.
Flexographic printing is mainly divided into unit flexographic printing and satellite flexographic printing.
In the past, the main domestic use of unit flexography printing.
Now satellite flexographic printing is more and more widely used.
The main advantage of satellite flexographic printing is the ability to accurately control the tension of the substrate.
Screen printing.
