A Brief Introduction to Unit-type Flexo Press
A unit-type flexo press is a type of printing press used in the flexographic printing process. It is designed with modular units that can be combined and configured according to specific printing requirements. Each unit of the press consists of various components, such as a plate cylinder, anilox roller, inking system, and impression cylinder, which work together to transfer ink onto the printing substrate.

Possible Issues and Solutions
Ink Smearing or Blurring
Problem: Ink smearing or blurring can occur during the printing process, leading to poor print quality and reduced clarity of the printed image.
Solution:
- Ensure proper ink viscosity and consistency.
- Adjust the doctor blade pressure to achieve a clean and even ink transfer.
- Verify that the anilox roller is clean and free from dried ink or debris.
- Check for excessive plate wear or damage and replace if necessary.
- Optimize drying parameters to ensure proper ink curing.
Registration Issues
Problem: Registration problems result in misalignment of colors or images, causing a distorted or offset print.
Solution:
- Verify that all mechanical adjustments, such as gear settings and tension controls, are properly calibrated.
- Check for worn or damaged gears, cylinders, or rollers and replace as needed.
- Ensure the plate cylinder and substrate tension are correctly set.
- Align the printing plates accurately and securely on the plate cylinder.
- Regularly clean and maintain the registration sensors and control systems.
