Special Consideration for Flex Digital Print
All printing methods have their own strengths and limitations, and Flex is no exception. Below are some considerations when printing with Flex:
- Flex can print fine details, including lines as fine as 1 mm (0.05 in) wide but it's best to avoid them in your design.
- Avoid soft edges such as fades, drop shadows, glows, and smoke effects.
- Use 100% opacity in your design and avoid semi-transparency, as semi-transparent areas will print with dull/whitish colors.
- Like any printing method, a large solid area of ink printed with Flex can feel heavy. It's best to use Flex for images with a lot of negative space.
