Sažetak
Flexographic printing process is a fast growing printing technique, which has established itself as a very competitive printing method in the packaging production. Flexographic printing process is a quality and cost-effective printing technique used for a wide range of substrates such as foils, plastic films, corrugated boards, papers and even fabrics. Nowadays, when a more demanding printing has to be performed, it represents a strong competition to the gravure printing process. Every good quality printing technique, especially the one which pertains to the packaging, includes prints which must have good adherence to the printing substrate and the previously printed ink film. The key elements that cause uneven coverage of the ink are surface characteristics in relation to the surface tension. This research analysis was focused on testing the acceptance of cyan ink with various viscosities to the printing substrate and acceptance to the previously applied white ink. The research was performed with the use of six different polymer materials. The comparison of the cyan ink acceptance among analysed samples is based on spectrophotometric values and uneven reproduction of full tone.
