Ink Importance in Flexo Printing
When businesses are looking to increase profits, while providing a better final product to their customers, they will often take a hard look at their materials and processes. What areas are generating excess waste and cost? Where can we improve efficiency without comprising the quality of the final product, and even improve upon the deliverable to clients?
In the last decade, the type of ink used has had a big impact on the bottom line for printing operations. Printers are continually looking to save money in every aspect of their business. Usually that comes in the form of some kind of small savings that will grow slowly over time.
