The Full Time Flexo Plate Mounter primarily focuses on mounting flexographic plates onto cylinders, preparing them for printing. In contrast, the Flexo Plate Finisher handles the final finishing processes, such as trimming and quality inspection. While both roles require technical skills and are essential in the printing industry, the mounter is involved earlier in the production process, and the finisher works towards finalizing the printed product.
