What the materials cover

The presentation materials from this crash course on gravure and flexographic printing follow the path from design to finished packaging. They explain how images are prepared for printing, how printing forms are produced for both processes, and which role inks, films and corona pretreatment play. Further topics include sleeves and anilox rollers in flexographic printing, colour management, and the technical possibilities and limits of both methods. The materials suit newcomers and professionals from purchasing, marketing, quality management and design who want to classify printing processes for flexible packaging and identify errors in development and execution early on.
