In an effort to boost production and pressroom efficiency, many flexo printers are increasingly turning to higher processing and curing speeds of adhesives. Unfortunately, this trend has also led to more instances of a defect between the solventless adhesive and the ink, known as smearing. During this podcast, we will talk about the challenges that have arisen because of smearing and learn about a new solution from Sun Chemical that helps to solve this issue.

Speaker: Jim Felsberg, Field Marketing Manager, Sun Chemical. Felsberg has worked with Sun Chemical for 31 years. Now as a field marketing manager at Sun Chemical, he is responsible for a variety of high-speed flexo lamination and surface solvent-based systems at Sun Chemical.
