FTA Flexography Ink Transfer Print Quality

What aspects of ink transfer and flexography print quality does FTA define for operators?

The FTA (Flexographic Technical Association) publishes a set of guidelines and training standards that directly emphasize improving the quality and efficiency of flexography printing. These guidelines define critical aspects for operators, such as Ink Viscosity control, appropriate Anilox selection, and Dot Gain management. The main goal of the FTA is to reduce process variables through training and standardization to ensure color consistency, uniform ink transfer, and global reproducibility in flexography printing.
