The open house will take attendees on a journey from “Prepress to Press,” presenting a range of production solutions that offer increased efficiencies, high precision job to job repeatability and state of the art digital/flexo hybrid printing, featuring Colordyne Technologies’ 3600 Series Digital Retrofit System. Following a catered lunch, the afternoon will feature equipment demonstrations that include the newly installed Bobst M5 High Definition Digital Flexo Press, MacDermid Graphic Solutions’ newest LAVA Thermal Plate Processing System, and Esko’s new digital flexo imaging system.

Converter attendees will also receive a complimentary copy of the Narrow Web Flexo Production and Digital Printing white paper, the result of a major research initiative APR recently commissioned. The white paper identifies the technologies flexo converters consider the most influential to the future of their businesses, primary market and customer challenges and the most persistent operations’ issues on flexo shop production floors.
