Customer Challenge: Unsuccessful Experience Matching Print to Proof

Flexografix's Solution: Color Expertise Enables Significant New Business Gain

Flexografix was referred to a progressively-managed printer by one of their press operators. After building a business on producing technically complex structures and defect-free products, the printer had a significant new business opportunity printing process work for a color-critical brand owner. The printer was convinced by our competitor that years of inaccurate print-to-proof matching resulted from their lack of experience in printing halftone work.

Flexografix was given the opportunity to fingerprint and profile one of their presses. Then, we re-engineered the separations to remove one of the colors - increasing the project’s profitability. The very first set of plates resulted in an accurate match to the proof - without any process changes. Based on these results, the printer awarded Flexografix with the entire project and both companies continue to enjoy substantial new business gains together. "In the context of what we do, it's clear; we pay for quality pre-press and plates and, as a result, we receive a better printing plate. It pays to buy the best!"
