This seminar teaches what is required for printing enhanced graphics on combined corrugated board through a balanced mix of presentations and hands-on sessions.
Led by industry experts and Clemson's training staff, you'll experience the entire flexographic printing process for corrugated from press components, fingerprinting, color separations to platemaking and proofing. Learn how to plan a print job all the way through by making color decisions learned from press capabilities and using contract digital proofs.
What will you learn?
You'll gain an advanced level of understanding of flexographic printing for enhanced graphics (process color and modified color) on corrugated board. You'll learn how to produce successful graphics on "brown box" rotary die cutters and high end flexographic presses.
Why attend?
This course is designed as the second level class for printing directly on combined corrugated board. This course will provide each attendee with (1) a thorough understanding of the steps to create high-quality graphics on coated corrugated board (2) how to use color management tools and press targets to achieve predictable results.
Who
Should Attend?
This course is designed for production and pre-press management and staff as well as plant management or those wishing to learn how to market and sell enhanced graphics. Those that will also benefit from the course are corrugated, pulp, paper, press, quality assurance and training staff, graphic designers, plant management staff, sales and customer service representatives, suppliers and manufacturers.
