FIRST Committee

The FIRST Committee is comprised of industry members who are responsible for providing updates to future versions of Flexographic Image Reproduction Specifications & Tolerances (FIRST).

These updates follow current technological trends in the graphic arts industry that pertain directly to flexography. Members of the FIRST Committee create updates by combining information gathered from Flexo Quality Consortium (FQC) projects, newly adopted worldwide standards and comments/suggestions submitted through the FTA website by the industry at large.
