A hands-on course on setting UV and UV LED light strength to match your press speed, ink type, and substrate, so curing comes out complete and consistent no matter what you're running. Covers:

• Setting UV Intensity and UV Dose to match each UV ink and varnish formula
• The difference between UV Lamp and UV LED, and how to choose the right one for the job
• Adjusting power level and belt speed for maximum curing results

Hands-on training on measuring UV light output using a UV scanner and UV strip test, to check how well your UV lamps and reflectors are performing. Helps your team track lamp wear accurately, to international standards.

Learn how to care for key components like UV lamps, cooling systems, and power supplies, plus basic on-press troubleshooting skills for when something goes wrong. Cutting downtime and extending the life of your UV / UV LED system.

The right way to clean UV lamps and reflectors, removing dust and ink residue buildup that saps light output. Prevents lamps from burning out or wearing down early, so your UV system runs at full power on every production run.

Learn how to match the right ink and varnish to each substrate, especially for label and packaging jobs that use a wide mix of materials:

• How to choose UV ink for films like PE, PP, PET, and OPP, plus paper.
• Selecting varnish for real-world use: water, oil, or scratch resistance.
• What to watch for on low-surface-tension substrates: if a film's surface energy (dyne level) is too low, ink won't bond properly, leading to color that shrinks back, peels off easily, and prints that lack sharpness.

Practice mixing ink and matching color to international standards, with a close look at how to keep every shade consistent, batch after batch:

• Mixing ink to a target sample and measuring color difference (Delta E / ΔE) with a spectrophotometer.
• Techniques for correcting color drift and keeping color consistent across production lots.
• Recording and managing a color formula database, so repeat mixes are quick and accurate.

Learn how to manage leftover ink from past production runs — quality-checking it, then adjusting viscosity and shade so it can go back into the process. Cuts ink costs significantly and reduce chemical waste, in line with green-manufacturing standards.

Learn how to test ink and varnish quality on real printed samples, to international standards:

• Rub Resistance Test: checks resistance to rubbing and scuffing.
• COF Test (Coefficient of Friction): measures how slippery or grippy the printed surface is.
• Lightfastness Test: checks resistance to UV light so colors don't fade.

A systematic approach to diagnosing and fixing on-press ink issues: poor adhesion, color shifts, incomplete curing, and ink build-up on the press.

Hands-on testing of film properties before it goes into production, to confirm the film works correctly with your print process:

• Ink adhesion testing: measuring surface energy (dyne level) and preparing the film surface before printing.
• Seal strength and hot tack testing: checking how tight the seal holds and how well low-SIT sealing performs.
• Barrier property testing: evaluating EVOH barrier performance and resistance to oxygen and moisture.
• COF (Coefficient of Friction) testing: measuring how slippery the film surface is, matched to your production line.

Diagnosing and fixing film-related issues that show up on the line, including:

• How to diagnose and fix poor ink adhesion.
• Finding the temperature, pressure, and dwell-time causes behind seal leaks or seal failure.
• How to adjust production parameters when film shrinks abnormally.

The right way to choose and clean anilox rolls:

• Selection: how to choose screen ruling and cell volume for solids, fine lines, and halftones for accurate ink transfer.
• Cleaning: hands-on training in removing deep-set ink residue safely, both by hand with the right sponge and with an ultrasonic cleaning machine, to restore ink cells and extend roll life.

The correct way to mount die-cutting plates onto a magnetic cylinder, for accurate, consistent die-cutting:

• How to correctly install and position die plates on the magnetic cylinder.
• Setting blade pressure to match material thickness: precise pressure for cutting only the top sticker layer without cutting into the liner (kiss cut), or cutting all the way through (full cut), for clean edges and longer blade life.
• Inspecting and maintaining the magnetic cylinder and flexible dies to extend their working life.

A close look at what affects ink metering. Learn how to choose blade angle and pressure to match your ink type, press speed, and anilox roll surface for smooth, even ink delivery and no scratching on the plate.

Setting up and adjusting temperature, pressure, and speed for hot stamping and embossing to match your die and substrate for sharp, well-defined results and foil that bonds firmly every time.

Advanced hands-on training on using a 3D microscope camera system to check tooling condition before it goes on press, in two parts:

• Anilox measurement: using the camera and 3D scanning software to measure cell volume, depth, wall thickness, and cell angle, to assess wear, clogging, and keep ink delivery precise and consistent.
• Flexo plate & dot measurement: scanning to check dot percentage, size, and shape on the plate, catching defects like collapsed or distorted dots and confirming the plate is 100% ready before printing.
• Reading Troika's software reports and using the data to fine-tune your print process.

A start-to-finish look at making plates with Asahi AWP water-wash platemaking:

• Laser imaging, exposure, and water-wash processing.
• Setting main exposure and back exposure to control relief depth and dot quality.
• Drying and post-exposure (light finishing) to improve plate durability and stability.
• How to control plate quality to flexo printing standards.

Hands-on training on operating Asahi's clean water-wash plate processor. Learn how to set water temperature, wash speed, and drying time to match plate thickness, for sharp, precise dots and line work plus how to maintain the processor to keep plate production fast and consistent every time.

A proactive course that trains your press operators to spot and diagnose issues early soft dot detail, smearing, or uneven ink transfer so your team can tell whether the problem is the plate, the pressure, or the ink, and adjust press settings to fix it fast.

The correct way to clean, remove ink residue from, and store plates to international standards. Preventing the plate surface from drying out, cracking, or wearing out early. Lets your shop reuse plates reliably, run after run, with stable print quality.

A close look at running Rhyguan flexo presses and finishing machine correctly and safely:

• Setting key parameters: impression setting, register, tension control, and UV curing.
• Adjusting die-cutting, hot stamping/embossing, and slitting systems to match each job.
• Job setup and changeover steps to cut downtime between jobs.

Daily inspection routines and basic on-press troubleshooting:

• Daily, weekly, and monthly checklists for flexo presses and finishing machine.
• Spotting early warning signs and basic fixes before calling in a technician.
• Maintaining servo drives, sensors, and register-control systems.

Setting up defect-detection cameras and software:

• Configuring the camera and software to catch defects like color shifts, missing text, and barcode errors so your QA team and operators can stop bad output before it reaches the customer.
• Reading and interpreting real-time alerts on the inspection system's screen.
• Adjusting detection sensitivity and tolerance levels to match each job's quality standard.
