MacDermid Announces The Flexo Xperience Center MacDermid Graphics Solutions has announced plans for a collaborative endeavor,The Flexo Xperience Cen- ter (The FXC). The Flexo Xperience Center is a partnership between MacDermid and SOMA and is an expansion of their ini- tial plans to install a SOMA Optima2 printing press at MacDermid’s facility in Atlanta, Georgia, announced in December 2020. The FXC will include multiple part- ners providing software, equipment, and consumables. The Flexo Xperience Center was conceptualized in late 2020 by the leadership, marketing, R&D, and sales teams at MacDermid and SOMA while discussing plans to install the printing press and plate mounting equip- ment at MacDermid’s facility. The teams identified a need in the package printing industry for a wide-web flexo printing center with every aspect of the flexo process, including artwork, prepress, platemaking, print, print finishing, and print evaluation. The mission of The Flexo Xperience Center is to move flexo forward. This global center will combine both hands-on and virtual visits for a “one-stop-shop” for the package printing industry’s entire workflow to experience the latest flexographic printing innova- tions. In addition, the FXC will foster and host indus- try training, collaboration, research, experimentation, and learning, all designed to ensure package print- ing excellence.The center will be open to pre-media suppliers, tradeshops, printers, converters, consumer product good companies, industry associations, educa- tional institutions, manufacturers, and other players in the package printing market.
