Flexography is a direct rotary printing system, which uses photo polymer plates, containing the embossed image to be printed. The plates are adjusted and glued on the cylinders or plate backing sleeves with variable lengthwise repetition, receive the ink through a simple rubber cylinder or an ANILOX roll fitted with a blade (Doctor BLADE), which passes the liquid inks onto the plates, which in turn transfers them to the printing medium. Water-based or solvent based inks are used. In the case of paper printing, it is more common to use water-based inks. Printing on a central drum flexographic printing press provides high quality.

This is a direct printing process, which is named after the cylindrical shape and rotation principle of the presses used. The image to be printed is in bas-relief. In Rotogravure, the press applies quantities of ink to different parts of the medium. This is possible due to the engraving of the cells on the cylinder covered in copper or chrome. The grading of the image shades is determined by the depth of the cells: the deeper ones contain more ink, so they print the darker shades, the shallower ones, with less ink, produce lighter shades. After having been engraved on the coper coated cylinder, the image is coated with chrome to provide greater durability. The engraved cylinder passes through the ink pan where it is directly inked, and the engraved cells fill are filled with ink. Excess ink is removed by a blade, so that only the ink contained in the cells is transferred to the printing media, thus composing the desired image. You use this type of printing on very smooth surfaces and whenever you want completely printed backgrounds.
