The Flexographic Pre-Press Platemakers Association (FPPA) will host its annual Fall Workshop on September 25-26, 2019. Offering fresh insights to plant, production, and technical managers in the flexo pre-press industry, this two-day workshop gives attendees the opportunity to learn on a live flexo press at Clemson University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The technical and production staff who manufacture flexographic printing plates rarely see their work in action\u2014and that is a missed opportunity to better serve printers and understand the process as a whole. A unique opportunity, Fall Workshop offers this important holistic perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attendees will spend the first day at Clemson University, learning on a live flexographic press. Led by staff from the university\u2019s Graphic Communications Department, workshop attendees will go through a press set-up and run, complete substrate print comparisons, and do on-press troubleshooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first day will also feature a tour of the Sonoco Institute of Packaging Design and Graphics on Clemson\u2019s campus. There, attendees will get a deeper knowledge of pre-press processes and see cutting-edge equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second day of the workshop will feature classroom-style sessions. Bringing the hands-on component full circle, attendees will analyze samples from the press run the previous day. They\u2019ll also learn from industry experts on technical considerations in paper and corrugated, inks, and machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFPPA is thrilled to offer this value-packed technical workshop for flexo pre-press industry professionals,\u201d said Brian Westerlind, Executive Director of FPPA. \u201cThe Fall Workshop offers a unique type of experiential learning, and I encourage all of those in the industry to take advantage of the what event has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The classroom portion of the workshop will take place at the Courtyard by Marriott Greenville-Spartanburg Airport, and registration includes meals as well as transportation to and from Clemson University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
