Description:A professional flexographic printing calculator for predicting and correcting flexo plate distortion. Flexo Plate Distortion helps prepress teams, converters, and students compute distortion percentage, adjusted artwork size, and scale factors to achieve accurate repeat length and tight registration. Ideal for packaging prepress workflows in business and education.
Core features:
- Fast plate distortion and repeat length calculations using cylinder circumference, plate thickness, tape, and substrate shrinkage
- Presets and project templates to standardize jobs and speed up setup
- Learn mode with step by step explanations and examples for training and classroom use
Advantages: accurate results, easy workflow, metric and imperial support. Keywords include flexo plate distortion, flexographic printing calculator, packaging prepress, distortion compensation, high efficiency
How to use:1. Install the app and sign in or continue as a guest
2. Create a new project, choose units, then enter cylinder or repeat length, plate thickness, tape thickness, material shrinkage, and target finished size
3. Review the calculated distortion percentage and recommended artwork scaling, then apply the scale in your design software or plate making workflow
4. Save the setup as a preset, and export or share a report to align designers, prepress, and plate departments
5. Open the Learn section to follow examples, verify formulas, and refine best practices for future jobs
