As a pioneer in the global flexo printing machine sector, Changhong will make a high-profile appearance with its flagship product—the CI flexographic Printing Machine 6 Color for plastic substrates to fully demonstrate its technical strength and innovative achievements. We sincerely invite all industry partners to visit our booth F-18-080, experience the robust performance of the equipment up close, discuss the innovative trends of flexographic printing technology, and jointly explore new blueprints for cooperation!
I.Path of Innovation: Forging Core Competitiveness through Continuous Evolution
Technology Foundation: Laying the Core Transmission Cornerstone (2008–2010)
Changhong’s innovation journey began in 2008, when we successfully developed the first-generation "CH" series gear-driven equipment. With its pioneering helical gear transmission technology, we laid a solid foundation for the company’s core transmission capabilities. Building on existing technical accumulations, we launched the "CJ" series belt-driven printing presses in 2010. While ensuring equipment stability, this product achieved a substantial increase in printing speed, laying a firm practical foundation for the subsequent R&D of Central Impression (CI) flexographic printing presses.
System Leap: CI Presses Leading Industrial Innovation (2013–2015)
The period from 2013 to 2015 marked a critical stage for Changhong’s leapfrog development in system integration. In 2013, we successfully developed CI flexo printing technology, which effectively solved the industry pain points of low efficiency and insufficient precision of traditional stack printing machine, and completely revolutionized the production mode of the flexo printing industry. Two years later, through in-depth R&D and optimization upgrades of core components, we launched three brand-new CI-type series products, achieving all-round improvements in printing precision, operational stability, and energy consumption control—another milestone in Changhong’s leapfrog progress in system integration.
Breakthrough & Upgrade: Gearless Technology Ushering in a New Era (2016–Present)
From 2016 to the present, Changhong has entered a brand-new stage of innovative breakthroughs. We have developed gearless flexographic printing presses, integrating advanced gearless transmission technology and high-precision servo control systems, pushing printing speed and registration accuracy to new industry heights, and precisely matching the increasingly stringent production demands of the high-end packaging printing sector.
Today, Changhong continues to focus on the R&D of high-efficiency, high-precision, and intelligent flexo printer, committed to providing integrated printing solutions for global customers, and steadily advancing towards the goal of becoming a benchmark enterprise in the global flexo printing industry.

II. Flagship Debut:Plastic CI Flexographic Printing Machine 6-Color Empowering High-Quality Printing Production
The 6-color central drum flexo Printing machine for plastic substrates unveiled at ExpoPrint ConverFlexo Latin America 2026 is specially optimized for the printing characteristics of plastic film substrates. Integrating a mature control system and a stable mechanical structure, it excels in operating speed, registration accuracy, production adaptability, and long-term service reliability, providing stable, efficient, and easy-to-maintain production solutions for plastic packaging printing enterprises.
Economic 6-Colour CI Flexographic Printing Machine with Servo Winders 250 m/min
Core Configuration & Performance Advantages
1.The ci flexo printing press runs steadily at a max speed of 250m/min, with reliable mechanical stability even at high speeds. It boosts hourly output, slashes lead times for bulk orders, and fits non-stop large-scale production. It has 6 standard independent printing units for easy adjustment, supports flexible printing sequence setups, and switches freely between multi-color overprinting and spot-color printing to meet diverse complex process needs.
2.It uses the classic CI-type central drum cylinder structure, with a compact, practical layout that saves workshop space. The one-piece central cylinder ensures even stress distribution, minimizing film stretching, offset and tension fluctuations during web transport. This structural design keeps substrates stable, laying a solid foundation for consistent overprinting quality.
3.The servo unwinding and rewinding system offers precise, dependable tension control. Matched with a closed-loop tension control system, it automatically adjusts speed and tension based on different plastic film materials and thicknesses. It fixes common problems like thin film stretching and thick film slipping, ensures stable web transport at high speeds, cuts scrap rates and improves material utilization.
4.The high-efficiency drying system is built for plastic films’ rapid curing needs. Equipped with substrate-optimized drying modules, it allows zone-specific independent adjustment of air volume and temperature, plus high-efficiency hot air circulation. It quickly cures water-based and solvent-based inks, avoiding defects like pattern adhesion, trailing and smudging. It increases printing speed while ensuring product surface quality and pass rate.
5.It features a large visual touch screen with a concise, intuitive interface. Functions for parameter setting, operation monitoring and process storage are clearly partitioned, and multi-language switching is supported to fit operators’ habits across regions. Its logical design matches actual workshop workflows. New employees can operate independently after basic training, cutting enterprises’ training costs and shortening onboarding time.
