Registration opens for second edition of Flexo Gurukul

The first Flexo Gurukul seminar was held in late April in Mumbai and delivered knowledge on the basics of flexo printing; the second edition is themed on controlling color in the flexo pressroom.

The second session of Flexo Gurukul will cover topics such as: reproduction expectations and challenges concerning spot colors and how to communicate spot color with sales people, the customer and the pressroom; creating and archiving custom spot color ink formulas; using formulas to blend ink more efficiently and consistently; recycling surplus spot color batches to keep ink inventory levels low and fresh; reproduction expectations and challenges concerning four-color process printing and how to communicate the four-color process with sales people, the customer and the pressroom; understanding density, dot gain, minimum dot and cut-back curves; and assembling, using and maintaining color standards including spot color and four-color process images.

Frank Burgos, president of USA-based FlexoExchange.com, is the teacher for the Flexo Gurukul seminars.
