A printing process which utilizes a flexible relief plate and is used for printing on almost any type of substrate including plastic, metallic films, cellophane, and paper.
What is Flexography.
200
This color theory is the basis of why printers use cyan, magenta, and yellow.
What is subtractive?
200
In additive color theory, green plus red combine to create this color.
What is yellow?
200
This is the conventional screen angle for Black.
What is 45 degrees?
300
The portion of the color space that can be represented, or reproduced on press.
What is Color Gamut.
300
These three colors are used in printing to attempt to re-create spot colors.
What are cyan, magenta, and yellow?
300
In subtractive color theory, blue minus this color creates magenta.
What is cyan?
300
These are used when printing halftones in an attempt to recreate the continuous tone original.
What are dots?
400
This roller meters the predetermined ink that is transferred for uniform thickness. It has engraved cells that carry a certain capacity of inks.
What is the Anilox Roller?
400
Set at different values for each color used, these help ensure that moire does not occur.
What are screen angles?
400
According to additive color theory, when printed, yellow absorbes this color.
Flexographic inks, like those used in gravure and unlike those used in lithography, generally exhibit this property. This property enables faster drying and, as a result, faster production, which results in lower costs.
What is low viscosity?
500
Named after the company that pioneered it, this color system is the standard for most jobs printed today.
What is the Pantone Measurement System (PMS)?
500
These colors pass through a magenta filter.
What are red and blue?
500
For flexography, this is the appropriate angle for Black?
