Press Support
On-site technical support during production
Comprehensive Press-Side Technical Support
Our press support service provides on-site technical assistance during production runs to ensure optimal print quality from the very first impression. Our experienced technicians work directly alongside your press operators to perform press fingerprinting, color verification using spectrophotometry, and real-time troubleshooting of any print-related issues that arise during production.
We help establish baseline press conditions, optimize ink and anilox roller selection, fine-tune impression settings, and verify color consistency against approved proofs. This hands-on approach minimizes makeready waste, reduces downtime, and ensures that every production run meets the highest quality standards. Our support extends to training your team on best practices for maintaining consistent print quality.
Press Support Process Stages
Press Fingerprinting
Conducting a comprehensive press characterization to establish baseline conditions including dot gain curves, solid ink density ranges, and print contrast values for each press unit.
Pre-Production Setup
Reviewing job specifications, verifying plate and anilox roller selection, and confirming ink formulations and substrate compatibility before the production run begins.
Color Verification
Using spectrophotometric measurement to verify color accuracy against approved proofs and target values, ensuring Delta-E compliance within acceptable tolerances.
Real-Time Troubleshooting
Identifying and resolving print defects as they occur, including issues with registration, ink coverage, dot gain, banding, and other common flexographic printing challenges.
Reporting & Optimization
Documenting findings and recommendations in a detailed report, including press settings, color measurement data, and suggested optimizations for future production runs.
