OEE stands for Overall Equipment Effectiveness. It is a measurement of productivity. OEE can be broken down into three different factors which are Availability, Performance, and Quality.
When choosing an anilox, should I go for an open cell or a closed cell system? The answer to the question depends on what you are working with (ink type, ink viscosity, plate LPI) and what you would like to achieve (printing, coating, half-tone, solid). In this article we will be looking into the characteristics of an open cell system and a closed cell system. To address issues such as ink spitting and pinholes and how to solve them from a cell system’s perspective. Furthermore, going into a few scenarios including high speed printing, UV ink application, special ink / coating enhancement, where certain cell designs may be recommended over the others.
What does wide tension range Flexographic press imply? The different substrate will require different tension range during the printing process. Therefore, the wider the tension range of a Flexographic press means that the more materials the press can take on. On a KYMC press, a tension range of 25N to 350N is achievable. At this tension rage, many different materials can be printed. For instance, PP, BOPP, LDPE, CPP, HDPE, PET, paper…etc.
Reprint capability can make your life easier in today’s business environment. Let’s discuss why is that? Undeniable, Flexography practitioners will agree that production variations and uncertainty levels are much higher today than before. These are caused by the brand’s need to attract and fulfill the consumers' ever-changing appetites. Therefore, variations and uncertainties are here to stay. The only thing that you can do is to adapt. There are many ways to adapt. In this article, we will discuss how your Flexographic press can help you adapt through its reprint capability.
For those that are not familiar with the nonstop web splicing. In general, there are two types of nonstop web splicing, which are lap splicing and butt splicing. Lap splicing is about joining two web rolls together. To join an end of a web roll and a beginning of a web roll together by laying one roll over the other with a tape. In this case, an overlapping region will be created to join the two rolls. On the other hand, butt splicing joins the two web rolls together without an overlapping region, which makes it much harder to perform. Butt splicing is used in applications where the thickness generated by the overlapping region during web joining is not acceptable.
To print on a 50 μm ultra-thin flexible glass material using Flexographic printing. To achieve a two-layer printing: a conductive grid layer and an insulation layer. The insulation layer will be printed over the conductive grid layer through tight registration.
On 2022-01-13, Taiwan Flexographic Technical Association (TFTA) concluded its annual seminar and exhibition event. The TFTA led by KYMC and other industry leaders aims to become a platform for the Flexographic industry in Taiwan. The platform will be an education and training hub, providing market and technical information to its members. At the same time, serve as the bridge between the Taiwanese government and the local enterprises. In the future, KYMC will continue to aid its members in establishing a tighter relationship with the international supply chain.
This article is a commentary on the paper cup industry in terms of its role in the circular economy. To provide a comprehensive discussion about the paper cup industry through four different topics. First, looking into the different ways to make the paper cup more environmentally friendly on the market. Then diving into the industry status quo on the efforts placed into making the paper cup more environmentally friendly and its effectiveness. Then jumping into the paper cup market potential in terms of government policies and regulations, market volume, and market value. Last, ending with my personal perspective on how the paper cup industry will play out in the circular economy.
Have you ever wondered how’s everyone doing under the pandemic? Where do you stand when compared to others? According to Smithers’ latest industry report.
