Printers wanting to develop their eye for colour can do so at the up-coming Chromaticity colour management course.

Chromaticity’s local Australian colour specialist David Crowther will direct the course, which will be held at the RMIT University International Centre of Graphic Technology from 7 to 9 April. “These training courses are designed to provide hands on working knowledge of colour management tools, practices, processes and implementation. On completion of the course, participants will have an advanced professional knowledge of terminology, processes and procedures required to design, implement and operate a colour managed workflow,” he said, adding that attendees who pass the certificate assessment will receive the Colour by Chromaticity Certification for Colour Management Implementation.
