Abstract

Flexographic printing in a web-fed rotary printing press is accomplished using water-based inks without plugging the screened surfaces of the printing plate. The temperature of the water-based ink is kept within a first temperature range while the temperature of the screened ink roller is kept within a second, higher temperature range.
