Event 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 a new event in their Seminar Series titled Digital Proofing for Packaging.
This seminar splits the attendees time in half with a mix of presentations and discussions and hands-on proofing evaluation led by the proofing vendors themselves. A range of proofing technologies will be available for hands-on proof production in the breakouts including digital halftone, expanded colorant inkjet, continuous and halftone inkjet, soft proofing, multiple color management systems, and more.
