The goal of the workshop is to make the participants fit enough to understand flexographic printing in its entirety within the 3 days.
This includes being able to categorise it as a packaging printing process in the field of printing technology, having internalised its basic functionality and knowing its peculiarities and challenges and how to make them manageable. We want to show you how flexographic printing works, what it can do and what it cannot do. True to the motto: ‘Easy to understand, difficult to master’. Both is our ambition. Contents:
