"As a 20-year-old company specializing in flexographic printing plates, we’ve faced challenges such as inconsistency, pinholing, ink smudging, and stoppages.

With GTT, we use less ink, eliminate spitting, and achieve longer runs without frequent anilox changes. The flexibility to print both half-tones and solids with the same anilox is a game-changer."
