Why Choose an Intermittent Flexo Press?

For label converters today, flexibility and efficiency are just as important as print quality. As product variety increases and run lengths become shorter, many printers are exploring intermittent Flexo Presses as a smart alternative to traditional letterpress or full rotary flexo solutions.

One of the biggest advantages of intermittent flexo technology is its faster changeover. Compared with intermittent letterpress, flexo requires much less time to adjust colors and start a new job. This is because the ink system is designed for simplicity and efficiency. While letterpress typically uses six rollers to deliver ink to the plate, flexo uses only an anilox roller. The shorter ink path means less waste, easier cleaning, and quicker setup. For printers handling many short runs every day, this can save hours of production time and significantly reduce costs.

Intermittent flexo also offers excellent versatility on different materials. Whether you are working with paper labels, films, or specialty substrates, flexo delivers consistent ink transfer and strong coverage. At the same time, the system is well-suited for adding inline processes such as varnishing, lamination, cold foil, and rotary Die Cutting. This means you can complete more value-added work in a single pass, without relying on separate equipment.

Compared with full rotary flexo, intermittent flexo is a more economical choice for customers focused on small to medium job volumes. It eliminates unnecessary waste and setup time while still maintaining high print quality and stable production.
