| Introduction to the Flexographic Process Workshop |
| Overview: This class is geared towards individuals in need of a fundamental knowledge of the flexographic printing process. The class is taught mixing hands-on training and formal instruction in a flexo printing environment. Each trainee creates and completes two print jobs starting in design and following through printing. The trainee will come out of the class understanding the function of flexography in the printing industry and all elements required for a company to produce a finished product including layout, trapping and distortion, plate-making, proofing, ink station set up, ink maintenance, press operation, diecutting and quality control.

| Advanced Techniques in Flexography Workshop |
| Overview: This class is geared towards individuals wishing to expand their present knowledge of the flexographic process. Emphasis is placed on optimizing the printing of tone work and full color reproductions. The class "fingerprints" our press, measures process variance, creates production standards, and then each student designs and completes a four color process job. During each step formal instruction couples hands on learning in such areas as tonal value management, color proofing, color theory, print analysis, process control, anilox selection, and more.

| Optimizing Digital Plates for Flexo Seminar |
| Overview: Find out how to un-complicate the digital plate process from "Prepress to RIP to Final Plate Production" while achieving optimal results from your investment. You will learn to recognize the pitfalls, avoid common mistakes and develop procedures to achieve consistent and repeatable results on every plate, every press run. This timely seminar, featuring excellent hands-on breakout sessions, is appropriate for all segments of flexo whether currently using a digital workflow or thinking about converting to a computer-to-plate system in the future. Co-sponsored by the FFTA. More information... |
| Digital Proofing for Flexography Seminar |
| Overview: One of the most reported headaches and problems from the packaging industry is getting predictable color on the flexo press. Companies coming to Clemson and other sources for training are constantly inquiring about the power of proofing solutions to predict color with a variety of methods and technologies currently available. That's why Clemson formed a committee of industry leaders to produce this new event. More information... |
