The present application discloses a method for spectral prediction and closed-loop feedback wide-width corrugated box extended
gamut flexographic pre-printing, belonging to the field of packaging
engineering and printing technology. The method comprises: establishing a
dot gain mapping function based on the Yule-Nielsen correction model by testing the roughness, ink absorption and
surface energy of the corrugated paper; printing a CMYKOGV seven-color characteristic color card to generate an adaptive
ICC profile; using the CIEDE2000
color difference formula and constant
hue angle
mapping algorithm for
gamut compression and color separation; selecting a low-
hardness flat-top dot flexographic plate and configuring a anisotropic screen roller; introducing the Walker-Fetsko rheological ink
transfer equation during printing, combining with real-time feedback of an online spectrophotometer to dynamically adjust the printing pressure and ink
viscosity, and realizing closed-loop compensation. The present application realizes high-precision
simulation of more than 90% of the PANTONE
spot color library, completely gets rid of the dependence on spot colors, significantly improves the color stability and production efficiency of wide-width flexographic printing, and is suitable for extended
gamut pre-printing production of high-quality corrugated boxes.
