One might expect a distinct break at the point where the two types of screens combine. However, Hybrid manages the transition from one screening method to the other over a range of gray levels in such a way that it is not visible to the observer.
Putting the process to work
In 1998, FlexoCal and Hybrid Screening technology was recognized as a significant contribution to the industry's advancement when it was awarded the prestigious Technical Innovation Award by the Flexographic Technical Association (FTA). Today, the process is preferred and specified for a number of high-profile packaging applications by end-users like Frito-Lay, Kimberly Clark, and Coca-Cola. According to Rottenborn, FlexoCal is being used across the folding carton, flexible packaging and tag & labels segments.
