August Webinars on barcoding and Creative Cloud

31 July 2014

Printing Industries August webinars will focus on how printing companies can add barcoding as a new service and improve printed barcode quality (13 August) while the 27 August webinar will provide an overview of the new Adobe Creative Cloud software.

This 30-minute barcoding webinar will feature GS1 Australia, the Australian administrator for the internationally recognised GS1 System.

It will be presented by John Lane, Manager of the Bar Code Testing team who has overseen the testing more than one million bar codes.

Mr Lane is widely respected and known within the printing and manufacturing industry for his detailed technical and practical knowledge.

He said that that accurate reproduction of barcodes was essential. He said errors could be costly to printers both in time and resources and lost customer confidence.

“Inaccurate barcoding can lead to loss of sales, items not being identified by retail auto-scanners, re-orders not being placed, items being de-listed by retailers and items being incorrectly identified,” he said.

Printing Industries second webinar on 27 August presents an overview of what Adobe Creative Cloud is about and recently added features.

This one-hour webinar will be presented by Matt Davis, a 29 year veteran of both trade graphic reprographic and global agency production environments.

Mr Davis spent 11 years in the prepress industry with Show Ads and nearly 18 years with DDB Melbourne and DDB Chicago. He became North American Production Operations Director for Omnicom's global production brand, Gutenberg Networks. After joining Adobe in November, he returned to Australia in January this year.

Mr Davis prides himself on having global end-to-end, all channel production experience and a love of technology, Matt can teach a thing or two about building and managing marketing communications in the new digital age.

All webinars begin at 1pm AEST and feature a 15 minute Q&A session at the end.
