Sustainability has been a hot topic of debate over the last year amongst flexographic plate manufacturers. Should you choose solvent processing or thermal processing? Kodak takes a different position. The question should not be whether solvent processing or thermal processing of flexo plates is better for the environment. The real question is "How can your flexo plate choice have maximum impact on your overall sustainability goals?" Viewers will learn: • Where to best focus their sustainability efforts so that they make the biggest difference on their environmental impact. • How sustainable choices in flexographic plate making and printing can also positively impact their bottom line.
