Donation Helps Central Piedmont Students

LOUISVILLE, KY | Future specialists in flexographic print production at Central Piedmont Community College, Charlotte, NC, are getting better results thanks to Flexo Wash, LLC, which recently donated an anilox roll cleaning unit and technical support to the school's Harper National Flexographic Ctr.

The FW991XL Anilox Roll Cleaning Unit donated to Central Piedmont Community College's flexographic program is identical to units Flexo Wash sells to the flexographic printing industry. It is a fully-automated, advanced system that deep cleans and restores all types and sizes of anilox and gravure rolls in 10 to 20 min, completely recovering the cell volume.

With this donation, says CEO Mike Potter, students can now gain experience not just in producing the highest quality possible, but also in the care and maintenance of flexographic equipment, making them even more valuable as employees to any printing company.

CPCC's Harper Ctr. offers certification, associate degrees, industry training and continuing education in flexography and graphic imaging. Students graduating from the program are the front line in one of the printing industries fast-growing areas of specialization.
