Designing for Flexo

Moving forward

Technological developments in the flexo arena have occurred at an impressive rate and are sure to continue moving the technology forward. However, the rate of change can also be a source of potential concern for designers, notes Martinovic. “Unfortunately, flexo technology has advanced so quickly, relative to the gravure and offset industries, that there is a large inventory of older equipment still in use that is not capable of achieving reproduction at today’s levels,” he says.
