on the use of water based inks, one of
the fastest growing segments of flexo
inks,” says Vincent DiTrolio, president
and founder of the school. “This perspective

definitive advantage over untrained or
under-trained personnel in the industry.
The result is a larger pool of
skilled press operators.”
“I have a strong belief that the
future of our industry is going to
depend upon all of us banding together
and supporting a training center
such as DiTrolio Flexographic Institute,”
says Angelo Capozio, business
development manager for Alden & Ott.
Capozio is a member of the school’s
advisory board.
