What Are the Artwork Image Standards for Flexographic Printing?

How to Prepare Your Images for Flexographic Printing

ARTWORK IMAGES NEED TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES:

-Include images, rather than embedding them in artwork, to meet printing tolerances and requirements

-Crop and scale images within their original application, rather than reducing or enlarging them after an import

-For image bleeds, allow 1/8 of an inch extra space on each applicable side 

SAMPLE LINE WIDTHS:

-Flexographic printing requires a minimum of a 1/2 point line width for positive images, and a 1 point line width for reverse images
