In a joint announcement, Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) and global anilox supplier Harper Corporation of America announced a continuing education programme for the flexographic industry According to Dr Tony Zeiss, president of CPCC and Margaret Harper Kluttz, president of Harper Corporation, the programme will be initiated with the creation of a new position, that of a full-time flexo education administrator for the college

The administrator will work with Harper's Graphicsolutions Division to develop, plan, implement and market a variety of subjects, including: colour management, graphic design guidelines, pre-press, plates, inks, substrate, simplifying anilox roll requirements, press operation, flexo basics, and enhanced process printing.

Seminars will normally run from one to three days.

A minimal fee will cover costs.

According to Harper its flexo solutions tour roadshows have shown the need for an expanded flexographic educational programme at the professional level.

Attendance at each of the seven road shows, held at colleges throughout the USA this year averaged 72 participants - up 50 per cent from 2005.

Alexander James, technical manager of the eastern division of Harper Graphicsolutions, said: "We are excited to work with the CPCC staff to enhance the educational programme and contribute to continuing education in the flexographic industry.

We intend to use the Harper Campus at CPCC, which is home to the Harper National Flexographic Centre, and host to the annual International Phoenix Challenge High School Flexo Competition." The campus has a terraced auditorium that will seat 75 people.

Larger seminars will take place at Central Piedmont Community College's Harris Conference Centre eight miles from the campus.
