APR Partners with OMET to Deliver Comprehensive Flexo Education and Training Resource to the Industry
Glendale Heights, IL (February 25, 2020) All Printing Resources (APR) announces the company has partnered with OMET to provide hands-on comprehensive educational and training at OMET"s Elk Grove Village, IL North American headquarters. This is the only demo facility for OMET narrow web presses in North America. The two companies' first joint seminar, Flexo Fundamentals, will be held at APR Headquarters March 24-25, 2020 and will feature a visit to the OMET facility where a seven-color flexo job will run on the OMET Xjet powered by Durst. The hybrid press system combines an OMET Xflex X6 430 and Durst Tau RSC.
Catherine Haynes, Director of Digital Solutions & Training at APR, comments, "We are thrilled to be working in partnership with OMET so that attendees at future APR educational events can explore the flexo workflow from prepress output to platemaking and into the pressroom. Our Flexo Fundamentals Seminar in March will feature a seven-color fingerprint press run. The need for quality educational and hands-on training far outweighs the few available offerings to flexo converters in the U.S. Partnering with OMET gives APR the opportunity to take our workshops and seminars to the next level and to ensure attendees have access to hands-on print and troubleshooting opportunities."
In pooling together the companies' collective resources, APR brings a unique hands-on asset to its established series of annual workshops and educational events. APR's Technical Innovation Center has a variety of platemaking solutions (solvent, water and thermal) in addition to the newest Esko CDI Crystal and XPS UV LED exposure.
