IUmatshini we-flexographicipleyiti yokushicilela isongelwe kumphezulu we-cylinder yepleyiti yokushicilela, kwaye iyatshintsha ukusuka kwindawo ethe tyaba ukuya kwindawo ephantse ibe yicylindrical, ukuze ubude bokwenene bangaphambili nangasemva kwepleyiti yokushicilela butshintshe, ngelixa ipleyiti yoshicilelo ye-flexographic ithambile kwaye. i-elastic, ngoko umgangatho wokushicilela wepleyiti yokushicilela uyatshintsha. I-deformation ecacileyo yokwelula iyenzeka, ukwenzela ukuba ubude bomfanekiso oshicilelweyo kunye nombhalo awukho ukuveliswa okuchanekileyo koyilo lwangaphambili. Ukuba iimfuno zomgangatho wezinto eziprintiweyo aziphezulu, impazamo yobude bomfanekiso oshicilelweyo kunye nombhalo unokungahoywa, kodwa kwiimveliso ezintle, amanyathelo kufuneka athathwe ukuhlawulela ukunyuswa kunye nokuguqulwa kwepleyiti yokushicilela.
