DES expands ISO seminars

DES has taken so many bookings for its February 17 & 18 ‘Pathways to ISO 12647 Compliance’ seminars that it has been forced to upgrade to bigger venues in Melbourne and Sydney.

“We were pleasantly surprised both with the quality and the number of people wishing to attend these free seminars,” said DES sales director, Russell Cavenagh. “The ‘Pathways’ seminars will be discussing all options in implementing ISO plus introducing 3DAP V3 and I think this is why we have experienced such a surge in interest.”

“We are also pleased to announce that James Hawkes, Chairman of the Australian 3DAP committee and Colour Manager of ACP Magazines has agreed to be at both our Melbourne and Sydney seminars to answer audience questions regarding the introduction of the new 3DAP V3 standard.

“If you’d like to attend there are still a few places available for both the Melbourne and Sydney seminars thanks to the bigger venues but the house full sign will probably be going up in a few days,” said Cavenagh

The seminar will cover a range of topics including:
•    What is required to achieve compliance?
•    How can you achieve it?
•    Tools for compliance
•    Options and strategies
•    The new 3DAPv3 based on ISO 12647
