Larger print areas, relatively easy makeready and an even impression - there are many advantages to flatbed presses compared to other types of presses. We’ll talk about all of the pros, cons and differences in this episode!

This is a great conversation to tune into for anyone looking to invest in a press, but also helpful to anyone who wants to understand what types of print jobs are best suited for different types of presses & why.

Have a guess on how many times we said “flatbreads” in this episode? Hop on over to Instagram to give us your best guess @hotoffthepresspod.

Quotable Moments:

  • “When I saw how you register [for a print job] on a flatbed, I was like, ‘omg I need one of these’.”
  • New slogans for printers? “A bite impression is the right impression” or “If it’s not a kiss, it’s a miss” (LOL)
