FTA Fall Conference convenes in Cleveland

Kevin Bourquin of Cyber Graphics was the program chair for the event, overseeing an agenda consisting of eight technical sessions. Taking place in the city where rock and roll was born, each session title paid homage to musicians inducted into Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. A total of 64 tabletop exhibitors presenting their forward-thinking technologies and solutions were visited during Monday and Tuesday’s evening receptions, as well as breaks between sessions.

Over the course of three days, attendees heard detailed statistics on the label and snack food markets, learned about the top 10 most important workflow efficiencies, discovered ways to make pressrooms more competitive, and got an in-depth look into the characteristics, control and capability of color. Other topics discussed were communication breakdowns that occur between brand owner and printer, well-known finger-pointing scenarios and how to avoid them, and modern color management technologies, their applications and feature sets. A panel discussion featured a discussion about overcoming generation gaps in the workplace and the event wrapped up with a detailed look at ink transfer from the eyes of the anilox roll, plate and prepress department.
