How the new CTV method for colour tone value measurement works and what are its advantages in the flexo process.Read my article that was published on Converting magazine.
Have you ever wondered how the principle behind flexographic printing works?Perhaps this explanation could be useful…
These reflections arose a few months ago, while traveling back from FlexoDay South event of Atif, as I was telling colleagues-friends about my “adventure” in Africa. Out of Africa I arrived in Uganda in March 1987, almost fresh out of high school, involved as a volunteer in an Italian technical cooperation project in developing countries. …

Natural Plate Compensation (NPC) curves are a new and simplified method designed to determine and apply plate compensation curves within any flexographic workflow. This method provides smooth transitions and equidistant tone values directly within the compensation curves by making best use of measurements according to ISO 20654:2017 – Graphic technology – Measurement and calculation of …

Measurement is the basis of process control. The measurement of dot area coverage or dot percentage is fundamental to define the characteristics of our printing system, to calculate compensations of tonal values for plate making and, finally, to control the production.In 2017, a new method for the calculation of dot area percentage was introduced. ISO …
It’s time to change the way we measure dot percentage! Read More »
In what sequence do you print your inks?Light to dark? Dark to light? And why? In this video pill I try to give some hopefully useful information for flexographic printers.
Have you ever experienced any problems like streaks, gearmarks, banding, bouncing and the like?In this short video I try to explain some of the most common causes at the origin of these defects in flexographic printing.
Here you can watch my full interview during RadioNews24’s OnAir program. Sometimes I realize that it is not easy to explain what I do to non-experts: in the meantime I hope you like the story of how my passion for flexography was born, since I was at school. Enjoy!
Here is an excerpt from the online event of Atif, Associazione Tecnica Italiana per la Flessografia “One flexo for all“, held -online- in November 2020.My part covered a description of flexography among the different printing systems used in pakaging.This video is a shorter version of one of the lessons of my trainings on the flexographic …
