FTA Details Fall Conference Schedule
Flexo Market News
With 17 presentations detailing the start-to-finish creation of a high-quality, flexographically printed job, FTA Fall Conference 2019 is offering the opportunity to see the latest in operator training. The event will take place October 28-30 at the Sheraton Charlotte Hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina. The eight-session agenda is as follows: • Defining the Race : Listen to a panel discussion led by the conference chair, where presenters mim- ic a pre-production meeting, dissect variables and ob- stacles encountered, discuss the design requirements, and identify the consumables and materials used. • Empowering the Pit Crew :Virtual reality (VR) will take a new role in press operator training. Learn how VR can provide cost-effective, zero-waste and scalable training,and then watch an instructor teach a new flex- ographer how to set up and run a virtual flexo press. • Optimizing the Tools for the Race :Learn the impor- tance of performing a print optimization to determine the prepress requirements, ink densities and press set- tings prior to fingerprinting. See what consumables were selected for the project, the attributes that led to their selection and how they performed on press. • Rounding the Curves : Hear an explanation of the two fingerprints and their differences, then watch a live demonstration of a fingerprint run on a VR press. Discover how the fingerprint data is used in prepress and where the curves are applied in the RIP. • Taking a Process Control Lap : Learn how utilizing a printer’s control target to print back to the values ob- tained during the fingerprint can enhance the quality of the characterization run. Explore how ICC profiles are used in prepress across all devices. And see a VR press perform the characterization run while printing back to values on the adjusted printer’s control target. • Finding and Training Tomorrow’s Workforce : Hear a summary of FTA’s year-long and industry-wide workforce study’s findings, and the actionable items derived from it. Then, educators from a pair of FTA member technical educational institutions will discuss how their programs attempt to address those findings. • Tuning-up the Process : FTA will take a look at sev- eral process improvement methodologies specific to flexography and put one to the test by taking a deep dive into that data and determining what could have done differently to add value to the process. • TheWinners’ Circle :The VR press is put into produc- tionmode and produces the final piece live.With samples in hand, FTA will examine the challenging print compo- nents—once considered too difficult for flexography— while discussing modern techniques used today.
