Hybrid printing (flexo and digital) can be challenging. Attempting to “go it alone” isn’t the answer. Flexographic Technical Association’s (FTA) Fall Conference 2017 will feature solutions on how to tackle this growing industry trend using the October issue FLEXO Magazine cover project as the example on October 10 from 10:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
The various presentations comprised of this cover project will address the ultimate differences between flexo and digital print methods by walking attendees through the entire printrun process, side-by-side, step-by-step.
