Clemson Process Control for Flexo Seminar

I'm on campus, at Clemson University, this week participating as one of the speakers for this seminar. There is a great line up of speakers this week representing about 11 industry suppliers, manufacturers and printers. We have a great group in-house this week too, with over 20 participants representing 10 different companies! We started the day by allowing them an opportunity to voice concerns they encounter on a daily basis. They rose to the occasion and created a great list of problems I'm sure everyone in this industry can relate too. We have our work cut out for us this week but it should be fun and interesting for everyone! What Changed?
