| Course Information |
This course offers practical, hands-on training tailored to companies with multi-color flexo rotary die cutters. The course moves participants away from the mentality that brown box equipment is not good enough for quality graphics. The equipment at Clemson is geared for brown box learning (quick changeovers, press ready ink, least number of steps to set up the machine), but the course also practices pushing the capabilities of two or three-color equipment. Throughout the week, participants set-up and run a total of
four jobs. |
