'When the FXC was established a year ago, all of the partners expressed that the center would succeed if we could exist more as an educational venue than a commercial one,' explains Garrett Taylor, SOMA sales director, North America. 'The events we have scheduled at the FXC—and the number of research programs that have been completed—have made us feel comfortable that we are meeting our objectives. The FXC moves forward if we can help move flexo forward.'

'The FXC has worked hard to build a diverse, stimulating series of events for the remainder of the year,' comments Becky Bunch, FXC Manager. 'We look forward to meeting the converters and printers who are pushing the boundaries of flexo. There is something for everyone here.'
