Flexo printing plate washing

Washing flexo printing plates after each print job is key for good print-quality when reprinting. BCM Cleanflex automatically washes your flexo printing plates – thoroughly and effortlessly –  and twice as fast as manual washing. Plus, it recycles water and cleaning agents.

Why flexo printing plate washing after printing is important

Because manual cleaning of flexo printing plates (or stereos) takes time and effort, it is often put off. As a result, the ink dries, which makes it harder to remove. This often leaves ink behind in the finer reverses and screens, which results in less accurate image quality for the next print job. Or maybe worse, dried ink deposits that come loose during printing.

Drawbacks of manual washing

To remove already dried ink residues, a tendency is to soak or scrub the plates. However, this leads to damage or weakening of the printing plates.

Another drawback of manual washing is the use of detergents and water. Usually, cleaning agents and wastewater disappear into the drain after each cleaning operation. This is expensive, burdens the environment, or it results in recycling costs. These costs become even higher with heavily soiled or flexo printing plates with dried up ink residues.
