Ama-eliminator aqinile asetshenziswa ekuphrinteni kwe-flexo, okuhlanganisa uhlobo lokungeniswa, uhlobo lokukhishwa kwe-corona olune-voltage ephezulu kanye nohlobo lwe-isotope olune-radioactive. Isimiso sawo sokuqeda ugesi oqinile siyafana. Wonke afaka ama-molecule ahlukahlukene emoyeni abe ama-ion. Umoya uba ungqimba lwe-ion kanye nomqhubi kagesi. Ingxenye yeshaja ezinzile eshajayo ayisebenzi, kanti ingxenye yayo iqondiswa kude ngama-ion omoya.

Umshini wokunyathelisa we-flexo. Ukuze kunyatheliswe ifilimu yepulasitiki, ama-antistatic agents ngokuvamile asetshenziselwa ukuqeda ugesi ongashintshi. Ama-antistatic agents ikakhulukazi angama-surfactants athile, ama-molecule awo aqukethe amaqembu e-polar hydrophilic kanye namaqembu e-non-polar lipophilic. Amaqembu e-lipophilic anokuhambisana okuthile namapulasitiki, kanti amaqembu e-hydrophilic angenza i-ion noma amunce amanzi emoyeni, okwenza ungqimba oluncane oluhambisa umoya olungavuza amashaji futhi ngaleyo ndlela ludlale indima yokulwa ne-static.
