@emilyysquires @ClemsonGC I have been thinking a lot about how Covid-19 will affect the printing industry this year. I wonder if things mentioned in this article advancements in technology will be halted until the market is stable again.

This article, published Jan 30, 2020 suggested 4 trends we may see this year. Using AI is the most interesting to me, but it will be interesting to see how COVID-19 may change these by the end of the year. customerthink.com/printing-indus… #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

@mattcpeeler @ClemsonGC I agree that the newer QR codes are beneficial to the graphics community. Instead of having a QR code in addition to the design, they can become part of the design.

I believe that this is a very important leap for the Graphics community. For creators out there trying to keep their brand appealing, it is important that they can use QR codes in creative ways, unlike the previous where they had to put the little black box. @ClemsonGC #GCFlexo

"...marketers don’t have to sacrifice their ad’s creative appeal for the sake of incorporating a QR code anymore." @ClemsonGC #GCFlexo impactbnd.com/blog/are-qr-co…

Flexible packing is generally more convenient to consumers, so it is valued more than higher quality packaging. #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

flexomarketnews.com/2016/05/flexib… In this article , the results of a study done to determine the impact of flexible packaging to brand owners. Surprisingly, the individuals surveyed do not agree that the type of packaging affects the value of a brand to consumers. #gcflexo

@alexisvowsik @ClemsonGC I am always amazed to see the new ways things can be printed. Printing any sort of money on anything other than paper has always seemed like an outrageous idea to me, but now these unique notes are in circulation.

coinweek.com/paper-money-2/… The Bank of England just released a new £20 note into circulation printed on a polymer substrate for better durability through money exchanges. Additionally, it features 2 windows and a 2 color foil to prevent counterfeiting. #gcflexo @ClemsonGC

flexpackmag.com/articles/90333… Using eco-friendly substrates such as these wood based labels are a big step in sustainable packaging. Small changes like this will make an impact now and in the future. @ClemsonGC #gcflexo

@EmanHajas @ClemsonGC Reading these kind of articles make me wonder what technologies could possibly be invented next. With competition in the industry, each company has to create something more productive and better. I wonder what can compete with this press.

Label printing is now more competitive than ever and not solely in the flexo market as seen with Epson’s UV digital label press. It is capable of printing labels and packaging up to 164 fpm, uv and white ink, and digital varnishing. @ClemsonGC #gcflexo prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

@mbf_1999 @ClemsonGC One issue I've noticed in flexo is the difficulty in printing negative fonts or any small details clearly. The article says that this new ink reduced dot gain to eliminate these issues. I think this ink is innovative and will help to make designing details easier.

shar.es/a3EDDp Instead of a regular chloride process pigment which is abrasive and wears down plates, the specialty pigment is smooth and does not cause damage. Now, there will be no sacrificing color quality for less abrasive pigments. #gcflexo @ClemsonGC
