5 operator-friendly printing innovations that contribute to better results

Two factors eventually determine the effectiveness of your flexo printing process: the operator and the printing press. You can make the press as intelligent and flawless as possible, but if it’s very complex to use for an operator, you still don’t get the desired result. Operator-focused printing innovations always lead to optimum press control.

What to Do When Your Mock-up Is Wrong

By Soopak
Oops! You placed an order for some boxes, and the sample that came back is just all wrong. You realize the fault lies with your mock-up, not the box manufacturer. What can you do to correct this?

How to Match Today's Laser Cutting Technology to Application Requirements

Laser cutting, a.k.a. digital die cutting, uses high-powered lasers to vaporize materials in the lasers' beam path. The powering on and off of the laser beam and the way in which the beam path is directed towards the substrate effects the specific cuts that the artwork requires. Because cut away parts are vaporized the hand labor or complicated extraction methods otherwise needed for small part scrap removal is eliminated, by Markus Klemm, R&D Software Engineer, Spartanics.
