The Short Answer

The CY2001 is a 2+1 label flexographic printing machine with three color stations: two on the front and one on the back. The same press can run 1+0 (one front color), 2+0 (two front colors), 1+1 (one front color + one back color) or 2+1 (two front colors + one back color). It has a 155 × 310 mm print area, a 150 mm fixed working width, 60 m/min maximum speed, and 220 V / 5 kW power. The press is plug-and-play: no installation is required, online support is included, and the warranty is 2 years.

What 2+1 Means on This Press

2+1 means the press has three color stations: two front stations and one back station. It does not mean every job uses all three colors. The same CY2001 can run:

• 1+0 — one front color, no back color
• 2+0 — two front colors, no back color
• 1+1 — one front color + one back color
• 2+1 — two front colors + one back color

You do not need a different press for the lower-color jobs. The machine is built with three stations, and the job uses the stations it needs.

Why Small Text and Multi-Color Stay Stable

The CY2001 is built for small text and multi-color label work. The printing precision reaches 0.08 mm, the cylinder runout is below 0.01 mm, and the theoretical front-to-back registration is 0 to 0. This is why small characters, fine lines, and multi-color registration stay stable during production.

The press uses Japanese bearings, an aluminum alloy plate, a Korean carbon fiber heating element and a silica gel heating plate. The anilox rollers and printing cylinders are interchangeable. These components support stable ink transfer and repeatable registration.

Cylinder and Plate Compatibility

The printing cylinder can be shared with Focus and Goldfai flexographic machines. This is cylinder compatibility, not a claim that the entire press is the same. The customer can use existing Focus/Goldfai cylinders on the CY2001, which reduces tooling cost and makes changeover easier.

Materials & Applications

• Polyester label tape
• Nylon ribbon
• Cotton label tape
• Herringbone tape
• Roll paper
• Label and ribbon printing

The press is used for label and ribbon work that needs small text, fine lines, and stable multi-color registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is 2+1 the same as three-color printing?
A: The press has three color stations: two front and one back. A job can use one front color, two front colors, one front + one back, or two front + one back. It is not fixed at three colors for every job.

Q: Can the same machine run 1+0, 2+0, or 1+1?
A: Yes. The same CY2001 can run 1+0, 2+0, 1+1 and 2+1 jobs.

Q: What is the working width?
A: The working width is 150 mm, fixed. There is no custom width option.

Q: What is the print area and speed?
A: The maximum print area is 155 × 310 mm, and the maximum speed is 60 m/min.

Q: Why is it good for small text and multi-color work?
A: The printing precision is 0.08 mm, cylinder runout is below 0.01 mm, and the theoretical front-to-back registration is 0 to 0. These keep small text and multi-color registration stable.

Q: Can I use my existing Focus or Goldfai cylinders?
A: Yes. The printing cylinder can be shared with Focus and Goldfai flexographic machines.

Q: Do you provide installation?
A: No installation is required. The machine is plug-and-play, with online support for setup and settings.

Q: What is the warranty?
A: 2 years.

Q: What materials can it print?
A: Polyester label tape, nylon tape, cotton label tape, herringbone tape, and roll paper.

Q: What is the difference between 2+1 and 4+2?
A: The 2+1 has two front stations and one back station. The 4+2 has four front stations and two back stations. Choose based on the maximum color count of your label artwork.

Q: Can you test my material and artwork?
A: Yes. Send the material, label size, artwork, color combinations, and target output for a print test and configuration confirmation.

Detailed Troubleshooting Guide for Flexo Printing

1. The printing plate blank part of the roughened surface is wear-prone and prone to failure

Over a long period, the roughened surface of the blank area may be worn away, resulting in:

• If the printing plate's water performance is reduced, you must increase the supply of Fountain Solution to maintain the ink balance.
• Printing plate surface storage of water, adsorbed on the printing plate surface of less colloid, if printing short-term stop, do not rub glue is easy to get dirty, to the production of great inconvenience. Roughened surfaces wear more quickly. You must replace the printing plate.

2. Common Troubles and solutions in ink and wash painting

Problem 1: substrate bonding, rubbing dirty
Reasons for failure: 

• The ink does not dry; 
• Rewinding tension is too large; 
• Storage of printed materials at room temperature is too high

Solutions: 

• Increase drying temperature; 
• Reduce rewinding tension; 
• Print the finished product in a cool place

Problem 2: The burnt version and the black version
Failure Reasons : 
1. The printing plate is too shallow; 
2. Printing pressure is too large; 
3. Too much ink; 
4. Ink viscosity is too high; 
5. INK DRYING RATE IS TOO fast;
Solutions: 
1. Deepen Plate; 
2. Adjust Printing Pressure; 
3. Reduce Ink Supply; 
4. Reduce INK viscosity; 
5. Reduce the drying temperature

Problem 3: Poor color overlap
Reasons for failure: 
1. Multicolor overprints the color behind before a color is dry; 
2. After the color, a color-stripping phenomenon; 
3. After the color overprint does not go up

Solutions: 
1. Increase the drying speed of the first color; 
2. Reduce the viscosity of the post-printing ink or Reduce Printing Pressure; 
3. Reduce the viscosity of the post-printing ink or improve its adhesion

Problem 4:Printing pinholes
Reasons for failure: 1. Ink Roller drying too fast, uneven ink transfer;
Solution: 1. SLOW DOWN THE DRYING RATE OF INK;

Problem 5. Too Light
Reasons for failure: 
1. Ink viscosity is too low; 
2. The anilox Roller Line is too thin; 
3. Anilox roller is worn or not clean; 4. Inking is too small

Rule-out methods: 
1. Increase the viscosity of ink; 
2. Replace the Coarse Line of the Roller; 
3. Replace with a new roller or roller for thorough cleaning; 
4. Reduce ink roller or knife pressure or appropriately increase the version of the roller pressure (gravure), and speed up printing (flexography).

Problem 6: It’s too dark
Reasons for failure: 
1. Ink viscosity is too high; 
2. Anilox roller is too thick; 
3. Ink Color Saturation is too high; 
4. The Ink Volume is too large

Rule Out: 
1. Add diluent to reduce viscosity; 
2. Replace the fine roller; 
3. Add denaturant to reduce color depth 
4. Increase ink roller or scraping knife pressure or appropriately reduce the pressure plate cylinder (gravure) 

Problem 7. Blotchy print
Reasons: 
1. Plastic film of uneven thickness; 
2. Ink is too thin; 
3. Ink viscosity; 
4. Printing plate ink is not uniform

Rule Out: 
1. Replace with a film of uniform thickness;
2. ADD NEW INK; 
3. Increase the stickiness of the ink; 
4. Check the cause of uneven ink transmission from the ink and for ink
