CORNERING THE SHEETFED MARKET

Fending off flexo

Sheetfed offset press manufacturers acknowledge the competitive strengths of flexo and the need to keep a close eye on its progression. But their collective viewpoints imply flexo's inroads are akin to a pesky insect that needs to be repeatedly waved away from the picnic table.

"Flexo presses have come a long way in improving quality, and certainly have created more competition to traditional offset than in years past," confirms Manzi.
