5. What is reverse printing?
Most laminated plastic pouches are printed by means of reverse
printing. Reverse printing is the process of printing on the back
side of a clear substrate.
In the following process, the print will be sandwiched between the
outside substrate and the rest of the structure, offering scuff and
chemical migration resistance. When the outer substrate is mounted
to the remainder of the structure, it will be right reading.
6. How is your printing process going on?
The general printing rocures are as follows :
(1): A print production worker receives a job order and takes note
of the specifications. They begin the setup process by installing
the correct cylinders, preparing the ink, and other job-specific
specs.
(2): Once the rolls of film arrive, a single roll is loaded onto
the machine and the tension is adjusted.
(3): After once cycle is complete, the worker cuts a sample piece
to analyze color accuracy.
Color accuracy is confirmed by looking at the sample through a
light box, which emits a special lighting setup that has been
adopted as an industry standard.
The workers in the printing department make decisions according to
the sample artwork and PMS color guide book.
(4): Workers are constantly monitoring the accuracy of the artwork
throughout the entire job order. Since the machines run at an
accelerated rate, workers look through a scanner, which can slow
down the rate at which the film is traveling.
(5): A sample is taken from the end of every roll and inspected
through the light box to verify there are no color deviations from
roll-to-roll.
(6): Once the entire order has been printed, the rolls of film are
delivered to either the laminating department or converting
department for the next phase of the production process.
