Relief Printing ⚫ Flexography In a typical flexographic printing station (see Figure 11.2) excess ink is applied to an engraved transfer, or anilox roll. The engravings on the anilox roll meter the correct amount of ink, depending on the engraving geometry and depth. The ink is transferred to the raised surfaces of the printing plate attached to the plate cylinder. Line art printing plates have a solid, smooth surface. Halftone and process printing plate surfaces are composed of small dots standing out in relief. The substrate is passed between the plate cylinder and the impression cylinder to achieve ink transfer.Relief Printing ⚫ Flexography In a typical flexographic printing station (see Figure 11.2) excess ink is applied to an engraved transfer, or anilox roll.
