Corrugated print is said to remain the largest seg- ment of the flexo print market, with 36.8 percent share by volume in 2022. The need to produce shorter print runs, and man- age new demands for variable data print, is said to stimulate further development of hybrid (flexo inkjet) configurations, and the adoption of CTP and other automation features, and in-line finishing to improve order turnaround. Another important development for press OEMs is the demand for medium web-width flexo machin- ery, with specialists in both narrow web label and wide-format central impression (CI) facing differ- ent challenges to adapt to this. Another focus for R&D is the effective integration of electron beam (EB) curing stations and inks for flexo print, which is especially suited for high speed print on newly popular monomaterial flexible plastics substrates. In the short term the flexo market is coping to adapt to rising raw material prices, which are affect- ing the cost of inks, other consumables, and print- ing plates. According to the report, as plate supply moves toward stabilization across 2022, interest in a lower environmental profile for print jobs will fos- ter wider interest in water wash flexo plates, and improvements in anilox roller technology on press.
