Founded in 1970, Mark-Maker began by producing rubber plates, and in 1976, added liquid polymer to its production capability. It further expanded in 1978, and added steel rule die manufacturing to for- ward integrate into the corrugated industry, and in the early 1990s, it installed sheet polymer plate pro- duction to serve the high-end packaging require- ments in the corrugated and web printing industries.

FINAT’s Label Forum To Confront Challenges
Flexo Market News
I NTERNET D IRECTORY
FINAT’s prime annual event, the European Label Forum (ELF), will take place June 7-9 in Berlin, Ger- many. The conference will launch with an opening keynote address by Michael Jackson, a management expert from South Africa, who will address the chal- lenges of change. One key element of change for the coming years is the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or “Industry 4.0,” as it is often referred to, which encompasses all technolo- gies that connect, exchange data and co-operate with each other, via the Internet of Things, to automate and optimize manufacturing and create smart products that connect with the consumer. Following the keynote, the ELF program will highlight the manufac- turing, product experience and the people’s side of this disruptive evolution, bringing to the stage experts from Porsche Consulting, EVRYTHNG, and Randstad, who additionally engage in an interactive debate with the audience during a closing panel session. Future Of Labels This agenda also takes event participants on a jour- ney specifically into the label industry’s future, fea- tur ing possible scenar ios for its business environment in 2020-2025, and providing a practical context as background information for strategic deci- sion making. For this purpose, FINAT has commis- sioned scenario-planning expert Paul de Ruijter, De Ruijter Strategy to conduct a project over the coming months that will culminate in two parallel interactive workshops during ELF. The second day of the conference opens with an update on the latest market trends and develop- ments. A review of the market for direct digital print to containers by AWA Alexander Watson Associates will be followed by the annual summary of FINAT’s authoritative labelstock statistics and half-yearly mar- ket review, the FINAT Radar. ELF participants will additionally benefit from a special report on a FINAT-commissioned study into the present and future status of digital label printing in Europe from the brand owners’, packaging buy- ers’, and label converters’ viewpoints, prepared by U.S.-based market research agency LPC. The second day will also feature a high-level discus- sion panel in which leaders of three of the world’s largest label companies will reflect on the future of the label industry.Workshop host Paul de Ruijter, sup- ported by co-host and FINAT President-Elect Chris El- lison, will also debate the likely outline of the future landscape for the industry.

Uteco Open House ( Cont’d from Page 1)
Dont Miss The Flexo Industry’s Premiere Marketing Opportunity
The system performs an actual reading of the print- ed surface much like the operator’s eye, but then makes use of a mathematical algorithm to establish the correct printing impression settings. The optical scanner is a contrast sensor that is said to register with extreme accuracy and sensitivity the quantity of ink deposited on the substrate independently of the printed subject. The system consists of a compact scanning unit mounted between the last printing deck and the dry- ing tunnel, and a main processing unit.The latter ana- lyzes the data received by the scanning unit and in a few revolutions of the print cylinders calculates and performs the optimal settings by acting on the posi- tioning systems of the plate and anilox cylinders.This function is fully automated in order to avoid external inputs which may compromise the process. Touch & Go It also includes Uteco’s Touch & Go patented auto- matic systems that establishes the first and lightest contact point between plate/anilox and plate/CI.
EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK, written by a high- ranking member of your company’s management team — Owner, CEO, President — allows you to advise your customers about the coming changes in the flexo printing industry and the ways in which your company will help them meet each new challenge.
Take this opportunity to tell readers about THE FUTURE OF FLEXO . What recent developments should your customers be attuned to? What flexo technologies will change the game in coming years? How will the retail market change? What demands will CPGs make upon flexo printers?
The Executive Outlook
This stand-alone issue, with bonus distribution at the FTA’s annual forum in Phoenix, Arizona, allows your marketing message to be delivered all year long! IN ADDITION ... your EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK article will be featured one month on the Flexo Market News website, alongside a sponsor ad linked to your company’s site. Also, a web blast will be sent to alert our readers to the article. An online version of the Special Report will also be made available so that any converting company, anywhere in the world, can access the report and view your company’s message: all year round .

The procedure, once selected, initiates automatically once the press is put in run condition and proceeds to advance the printing decks until the appropriate contact torque is measured taking into consideration the possible variables of sleeves, carriers, and plates, as well as multiple mechanical and temperature compensations. For the Open House demonstrations, the press used Sun Chemical’s expanded color gamut inks. Flexo Wash installed a FW 2000M anilox cleaner at Uteco’s Demonstration Facility, which was available for demonstration during the Open House. The anilox cleaner is capable of cleaning anilox sleeves and journaled anilox rolls with a maximum face length of 67 inches, overall length of 73 inches, and diameter of 8 inches.
