Flexo Prepress Technology
Developers of prepress technology for the flexographic market have simple goals: to help their customers create crisp images in a streamlined process that they can repeat, again and again. Accomplishing those goals, however, is no easy task. It requires an understanding of the entire print process from start to finish, including its challenges, and of the science behind color.
Over the last 15 years, the steady shift from traditional plate systems to digital systems has been considerable. The change has not only helped many converters to streamline their processes and improve image quality, but it has also helped them to implement sustainable practices and reduce their impact on the environment.
At one point, the decision to go digital was based largely on numbers. It is a significant investment – for some smaller companies, perhaps prohibitively so – and not one that converters were likely to make at the height of the recession. However, as the economy has begun to turn around and converters’ bottom lines have bounced back from rock bottom, investing in digital prepress technology is more attainable and, according to some, very worthwhile.
