Troubleshooting the Flexographic Process
Diagnosing and solving flexographic print defects in a timely fashion is the responsibility of all production personnel. However, many times it can be confusing and difficult to accomplish.
Join Stefano as he conducts this two-part Membernar focused on troubleshooting common flexographic print defects.

- Part – 2: Flexographic Inks and the Plate Package is focused on the functionality of flexographic printing plates, plate mounting tape systems, plate carriers (cylinders and sleeves) and substrates.
