Print simulation
open-in-new
<p>Print process simulation uses interactive <a href="/facts/Simulation/Q4QJV1oI">simulation</a> software to reproduce the operating conditions of complex multi-colour printing presses that often cost several million dollars. Simulators are available for different printing process technologies (Offset Sheetfed, <a href="/facts/Heatset/c7slqBP3">Heatset</a> and Coldset Web Offset; <a href="/facts/Flexographic/crRKRJEV">Flexographic</a> and <a href="/facts/Rotogravure/V6hF7Q5e">Gravure</a> Packaging), includes their consumables (like inks, plates, paper and other substrates) and where pertinent, in-line packaging operations (such as folding, cutting, label creation). </p>
