Method of printing and cutting heavy stock on flexographic press

The flexographic press method of making a foldable dial card that can be folded on itself with the folded dial card having openings and edges in registration comprising the steps of:

• feeding an elongated web of thickness t into a flexographic press with the thickness of the web sufficiently thick so as to normally cause the web to jam during the flexographic printing process;
• printing a first color onto the web followed by drying the first color;
• printing a second color on the web followed by drying the second color;
• feeding the web between a first pair of rollers rotating at the same surface velocity to cut internal regions of a dial card in the web;
• blowing on the web to remove internal cutouts from the web to thereby form a dial card from the web;
• and
• feeding the web with the cut internal regions between a second pair of rollers to cut exterior regions of the dial card with the second pair of rollers comprising a die cutting roller rotating at a first surface velocity and a back-up roller rotating at a second surface velocity, said second surface velocity slightly larger than the first surface velocity of the die cutting roller to thereby apply a shearing pull force to the web to prevent jamming of the web in the flexographic press.
