brands, and retailers gain instant access to best practices in the full flexo print process via demos and live webinars. Apex International launched FlexoKITE with its partners to demonstrate state-of-the-art equipment at work — in re- al-time — from Experience Centers in the Netherlands and India. FlexoKITE runs a fully-equipped integrated workflow of the latest-version equipment from Apex International (anilox), BOBST (inline flexo press), DuPont (plate), ESKO (prepress), and MacDermid Graphics Solutions (plate). “Knowledge, Innovation, Technology, and Exploration” (KITE) are the driving forces that unify these companies to deliver real-world technical content not limited to a sin- gle product area. FlexoKITE provides print converters and brands a comprehensive view of the entire plate-to-print process, focusing on the finished printed product. An op- timum printed product is achieved through synchronizing the plate-imaging, plate-processing, anilox, and press — all under one roof, presented step-by-step, and delivered to your computer screen, or in-real-life as health regula- tions permit. What Is FlexoKITE? It is a workshop, press floor, seminar series, and trade- show rolled into one robust flexo user experience. Flex- oKITE empowers you with the knowledge to soar above your workflow and equipment obstacles and deliver the best results from each category of your gear. With the full capacity of a state-of-the-art print shop in its two pur- pose-built Experience Centers, FlexoKITE empowers par- ticipants with: • Live testing and evaluation of screening software, plate, print, and anilox methods; • User-submitted PDF-to-plate-to-print press-runs; • Q&A sessions; • Process and product presentations by industry experts; • Customer-directed problem-solving workshops.
