Standardization of color separation process for flexographic printing

Abstract

Standardization of flexographic printing is a process to produce the predicted CMYK separation films. In this research, a test form is designed and printed to obtain the characteristics of the relevant factors including density and dot gain curves for each color and grey balance. The obtained data together with the input data: required tone reproduction and type of black printer were then used to calculate tone reproduction of each color separation film through the presently invented program. The experiment includes printing to evaluate the program. It is found that the obtained tone reproduction of print is close to the specification given before.
