FTA Europe Hopes For Standardized Flexo Press Test FTA Europe is inviting flexo printers to be part of its project on developing a standardized test form that checks the quality of flexo printing presses. “We would like flexo machine operators to com- plete a short survey,” the association said, “that takes no longer than five minutes to complete, answering questions related to their machinery and the checks they currently perform.The results of this survey will help the project team to pin down the most important aspects for a new standardized, European test form.” A standardized test form for printers will help to compare the quality of different presses, evaluating technical features, detecting defects, and verifying out- put quality. “Our team of experts includes all the key machine suppliers in Europe,” said the association, “as well as printers and flexo experts. We need the input from printers across Europe in order to design a test form that best suits their needs.”
