Natural Plate Compensation Curves for Flexography
Natural Plate Compensation (NPC) curves are a new and simplified method designed to determine and apply plate compensation curves within any flexographic workflow. This method provides smooth transitions and equidistant tone values directly within the compensation curves by making best use of measurements according to ISO 20654:2017 – Graphic technology – Measurement and calculation of spot colour tone value, also known as SCTV.
Join Stefano as he demonstrates a new simplified method of calibration for flexographic printing plates based on SCTV.
