Flexographic printing

Japanese: フレキソ印刷 - ふれきそいんさつ
Flexographic printing
This is printing using relief-shaped rubber plates, and is also called flexograph because the plates are flexible. It was also called aniline printing because aniline dye ink was used, but nowadays pigment ink is more commonly used, so it has come to be called flexography. Because the plates are relatively elastic, a smooth ink that flows easily is used, and not much pressure is applied when printing. As a result, the printing press is not very sturdy.

Japanese:
凸版状のゴム版を使っての印刷で,版が柔軟であるところから,フレキソグラフflexographとも呼ばれる。アニリン染料インキを用いたことから,アニリン印刷aniline printingともいわれたが,現在は顔料インキを用いる場合が多くなったのでフレキソ印刷といわれるようになった。版が比較的弾力に富むので,インキは流れやすいさらさらとしたものを使い,印刷のときはあまり強く圧をきかさない。このため印刷機械はそれほど頑丈でない。
