Flexo 101 Session

Ann Michaud, 3M, led the call for measurement and control. Carl Hartz, Flint Group, spoke to the basic components of inks. He noted that that versatility may prove the printer’s differentiating factor. Basic theory and real pressroom experiences were folded into a presentation by Jean Jackson, Allison Systems, and Donnie Gramlich, Smurfit-Stone Preprint, as they reviewed the critical roles played by both the anilox and doctor blade in an effective and productive ink metering system.
