SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MITIGATING TRAILING EDGE VOIDS IN FLEXO PRINTING
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MITIGATING TRAILING EDGE VOIDS IN FLEXO PRINTING
Methods, systems, and non-transitory memory media embodying computer readable instructions for minimizing voids in front of a trailing edge of a solid rendition or linework print region printed using a photocurable flexographic printing plate having a printing surface corresponding to information in an image file. At least one solid rendition or linework image region corresponding to the solid rendition or linework print region has a pattern of “on” and “off” single pixels that correspond to openings formed by an imager in a mask layer of the plate. Micro-screen openings in an edge region of the solid rendition or linework mask region are imaged with a different size than micro-screen openings in a center region of the solid rendition or linework mask region.
