[0002] Flexographic printing presses use highly fluid inks. The ink is transferred from the ink cartridge and the anilox roller to the image and text part of the printing plate and then applied with printing pressure by the printing roller to transfer the ink on the printing plate to the substrate. Finally, the printing process is completed by drying the surface. At present, the anilox roller and the plate roller are driven by a transmission shaft through a gear transmission system. When a multi-color printing line is composed of multiple sets of printing press color groups, multiple transmission shafts are used to connect the flexographic printing press color groups used for printing in different colors.
