Charlotte, North Carolina, December 05, 2011—Global anilox roll supplier Harper Corporation finished the 2011 Harper Roadshow in Dallas, Texas. The event, held on Wednesday, October 26, was enjoyed by many flexographic professionals.
Participants were invited to share in welcoming comments, a series of classes targeting the most important issues faced by today’s flexographic professionals, lunch, and door prizes. The classes discussed a variety of topics, and included: Standardization, Setting the Table for Success; Pressroom Color Consistency; Doctor Blades; Anilox & Plate Cleaning in Today’s Environment; Raising the Bar; UV Inks; Stickyback and Process Improvement; and Absolute Color Management with On-Press Spectrophotometer.
The event maintained a balance between educational information and networking opportunities. While classes brought professionals together to consider some of the most pressing industry-related topics, door prize activities allowed participants to intermingle and get to know their colleagues. For Bruce Broyles from Nosco, who was the lucky winner of a new Asus EEE Pad Transformer Tablet, the door prize event was especially exciting.
The 2011 Roadshow incorporated educational and industry networking opportunities, sharing relevant, ground-breaking information with flexographic professionals across the country.

Charlotte, N.C., October 24, 2009 – Juan Bermudez, Sales & Service Manager for Latin America at global anilox roll supplier Harper Corporation of America, shared his comprehensive insights on flexo printing with corrugators during an October conference.
Held at the Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Guayaquil, Ecuador, the two-day program focused on providing the audience of interested corrugators with improved understanding of basic and advanced flexographic printing practices and insights on inks.
Bermudez said the comments, concerns and questions he heard expressed by corrugators at his presentation are signs that interest within the Latin American market in flexo technology and applications remains strong and growing.
"From my perspective, corrugators in Ecuador and the whole region are more aware of the many advantages of flexo over other processes and are eager to apply our anilox know-how to enhance printing quality," Bermudez said.
Bermudez, in his day-long presentation, outlined the many practical issues associated with flexo printing processes. He discussed how various flexographic options work in combination, the fundamentals of their use and the likely impact corrugators should expect on their finished products.
Also this year, Bermudez spoke about the impact of anilox rolls on flexo printing in Bogota, Colombia, during Andina Pack — one of the largest flexible packaging trade shows in the northern portion of South America.
