Videos Are Only for FTA Members!







The FTA video archive gives members the opportunity to watch—and rewatch—presentations from past Forums and Fall Conferences. If you missed an event, it's the chance to catch up on whatever topics were discussed; if you were in attendance, it's the chance to review and better absorb any material that didn't sink in the first time. Take notes, pause and rewind, and digest the presentations at your own pace, from the comfort of your office chair.

Here's a Sample of What You're Missing

"Flexo Plates 101 - Clearing the Muddy
Waters of Plate Terminology"

What does a printing plate do? What are the different ways to manufacture a plate? In what segments is each plate type used? How are plates processed? What are bump curves, microcells and flat top dots? In this presentation, MacDermid Graphics Solutions' Jason Cagle focuses on foundational knowledge of plates: "Things that are in the industry today, that are coming out, that have been out, that are popular, that you might be hearing about, that you might not necessarily quite understand exactly."
