Overview
The key to a successful installation and implementation of a Kodak digital flexo workflow system is to have a clear vision of all the steps involved, and the order and timelines for each step. Each progressive step requires that a previous step be successfully completed. For example, it is impossible to implement Kodak Maxtone screening software without the plate media representative first determining minimum mask exposure values (minimum dot value) for each media.
The first goal of Kodak Start Up Assistance (SUA) is to enable you to duplicate the results that you were achieving with previous analog platemaking. This allows you to start running your presses with new digital plates as quickly as possible, and to build up experience and confidence with your new Kodak digital flexo workflow. Once you are confident in your ability to create good-quality plates with your Kodak system and to satisfy your existing customers, you will be able to progress to advanced screening features and produce superior results.
