Ngethuba lenkqubo yokushicilela umatshini wokushicilela we-flexo, kukho ixesha elithile loqhagamshelwano phakathi kwendawo ye-anilox roller kunye nomgangatho weplate yokushicilela, indawo yokushicilela kunye nomgangatho we-substrate. Isantya sokushicilela sahlukile, kwaye ixesha layo loqhagamshelwano likwahlukile. kokukhona ugqithiso lwe-inki ngokuzeleyo, kwaye kokukhona isixa esikhulu se-inki egqithiselweyo. Kuba uguqulelo oluqinileyo, okanye ikakhulu imigca kunye nabalinganiswa, kunye ne-substrate i-absorbent material, ukuba isantya soshicilelo sisezantsi kancinane, umphumo wokushicilela uya kuba ngcono ngenxa yokwanda kwexabiso le-inki edluliselwe. Ngoko ke, ukwenzela ukuba kuphuculwe ukusebenza kokudluliselwa kwe-inki, isantya sokushicilela kufuneka sinqunywe ngokufanelekileyo ngokohlobo lwemizobo eprintiweyo kunye nokusebenza kwezinto zokushicilela.
