Intro to Flexographic Printing
An online course exploring how to produce and troubleshoot flexographic printing to produce high quality corrugated packaging that makes an impression on consumers and drives sales.
What you will learn
High quality flexographic printing on corrugated substates has its own set of challenges. This course will help you navigate these challenges by demonstrating how to produce clean solids and line work as well as halftones and spot colors. Many of the typical troubleshooting issues are addressed from dot gain and die-cutting to proper graphic design for corrugated to ensure best results. This course is based on core objectives covered in a live workshop held at Clemson University’s PrintCon facility.
