Quality Printing--Handling it Right

Register control

With web guiding and tension under control, reliable register control can take center stage. Penny Shawah, VP, strategic applications for CC1, Inc. (Manchester, N.H.), sees an ever-increasing need for reliable register control in package printing.

"Our packaging customers are facing many challenges, including use of more complex (heavier, stretchier) and expensive substrates, increasing number of printed colors, dual-side printing, tighter front-to-back registration requirements, tighter diecut registration requirements, and use of 'invisible' or barely visible inks, to name a few," she says.
