"Capture efficiency" the ratio of VOC emissions delivered to the air pollution control equipment to the total VOC emissions resulting from flexible package printing activities, expressed as a percentage.C.Cleaning. "Cleaning" means, with respect to a flexible package printing press or presses, cleaning of a press or press parts or the removal of dried ink from areas around the press. "Cleaning" does not include cleaning of electronic components, cleaning in platemaking or binding operations, housekeeping activity near a press or the use of a parts washer or cold cleaner.D.Flexible package.

The "installation date" does not change if the equipment is moved to a new location at the same premises.G.Overall control efficiency. "Overall control efficiency" means the product of the capture efficiency and the air pollution control equipment efficiency.H.Press. "Press" means a printing production assembly that is composed of one or more work stations, one or more of which is a flexographic or rotogravure print station, that produces a printed product.I.Quality control /quality assurance and research and development. "Quality control/quality assurance" means the testing of products to ensure that they meet performance requirements and that the product and/or service is reproducible. "Research and development" means a process intended to create new or improved products or technology. The products produced as a result of quality control/quality assurance and/or research and development activities are not directly sold or marketed as a product.J.Rotogravure print station. "Rotogravure print station" means a work station on which a rotogravure printing operation is conducted. A rotogravure print station includes a rotogravure cylinder and ink supply. The image to be printed is etched or engraved below the surface of the rotogravure cylinder.K.Work station.
