Elusive "Perfect Proof"

According to John Awahmukalah, DuPont's North American product manager for packaging proofing, there are around 2,000 WaterProof systems in the United States, 60 percent of which are installed in commercial printing plants. "For the past year and a half, we have seen an increasing number of CV's being purchased by packaging trade shops and converters," says Awahmukalah. "Most are being used in the folding carton and flexible packaging markets, where quality demands are very high, but we also see some in tag and label and corrugated applications."
