Flexography: Principles & Practices, 5th Ed. is published as a six volume set.

This entirely revised and dramatically expanded classic presents a complete compilation of flexo technology. It is undoubtedly the industry's most comprehensive textbook on flexographic printing. Printed in full color throughout, it is the perfect source of information covering the past, present and future of flexography. Highly recommended.

From the Preface: “...This fifth edition introduces a new format. Six volumes contain the various chapters on specific topics of flexography. The motivation for this change was twofold: First, the text has continued to expand with each edition and has outgrown a convenient size for one volume. The second and perhaps a more important motivation was the desire to be able to update the material in more manageable pieces. In the future, select topics, particularly some of the more rapidly changing areas of our industry, can be updated in specific volumes. This will make the process more timely...”

Target Audience: Literally everyone involved in any aspect of flexography.
