Abstract

This chapter deals with the various approaches to the printing of metal packaging including those that have been used in the past, those in current use and some predictions on those that will be used in the future. The creation of multicoloured designs is such an important feature of printing that additionally some basic principles concerning colour and colour measurement are given.
