Chromaticity delivers colour to Canon Staff

Colour guru, David Crowther, holds forth at the Chromaticity training for Canon sales and technical staff at the DES facility in Sydney.

Canon Australia, an industry leader in colour print production and graphic arts, recently sent eight of its technical and sales staff to a customised Chromaticity colour management training course to keep them ahead of the game in the colour management arena.

The training took place at the DES headquarter in Sydney at the end of October 2006.

For Canon's digital production solutions group the recent launch of new digital colour printing technology – Canon ImagePRESS C1– signifies Canon's latest entry into the high-end, high-quality colour, professional digital press market. Canon recognises that in order to fully develop in the professional colour arena, their staff need to be competent and increase their skills and knowledge of advanced colour management.

“We approached Chromaticity with our needs and they proposed a customised course to suit,” said Paul Fennell, training consultant, Canon. “Chromaticity are unparalleled in the colour industry, the course has benefited sales and technical staff. It has given them a greater confidence and improved their skills in the colour critical market. It has been an invaluable experience for us, increasing our efficiency and understanding.”

Covering a range of topics from ICC colour management basics through to press to proof output, the course proved valuable for all attendees. “They definitely got a lot out of it,” said David Crowther, Australian representative for Chromaticity.
