Clemson to host flexo process printing symposium

Clemson University has announced that the next Flexographic Process Printing symposium will take place on 9-11 March 2005. Since 1992, the Department of Graphic Communications has offered this 2.5–day program on color reproduction focused on the flexographic printing industry. The symposium offers an in-depth examination of the production techniques that produce predictable, repeatable color for top-quality print. The symposium will focus on press characterization, the fundamentals of color measurement, and the application of process color in the production environment.
This symposium is an opportunity to learn directly from some of the top color professionals and educators in the flexo printing industry. Instruction is provided through presentations, demonstrations and a number of interactive, hands-on breakout sessions. In addition, participants have many opportunities to speak one-on-one with the presenters at meals and social hours that extend into the evening about their color reproduction issues.
Through the support of its industry partners, the CUGC labs are fully functional printing facilities in which students learn first-hand all phases of production for flexography, offset lithography, screen printing, gravure and digital print applications. With an enrollment of over 400 students, CUGC is the one of the premier educational facilities for the printing industry in the USA.
