Cal Poly State University Offers Flexo Bootcamp

Flexo Bootcamp, a new 2-day workshop offered by the Graphic Communication Institute at Cal Poly, is happening on February 2-3, 2009—only six weeks away. Flexo Bootcamp is a quick way to jumpstart productivity, improve skill level and reduce learning curves—in only two days. The fast-paced workshop is designed to provide the essentials necessary to be productive in the flexographic industry. It is geared for those new to the industry or looking for a well-rounded introduction to flexo printing.

Over a two-day period, participants will learn both theory and modern practice of flexographic workflow and printing using a narrow-web press. Participants will build an Illustrator file, use EskoArtwork’s Suite 7 to produce carbon mask digital plates, and then print on a Mark Andy 2200 press. The seminar will use the Cal Poly “learn by doing” model of education.

The workshop hours are designed so that most participants can arrive on Monday and return home on Tuesday—minimal time away from the office, maximum time learning flexo.
