DES takes colour management training to Melbourne
The Advanced Colour Management and Digital Print Makers Master Classes are held in conjunction with Chromaticity Australia. Crowther says he is enthused over the opportunity of using the state-of-the-art facilities and equipment at the RMIT’s International Centre of Graphic Technology to impart his knowledge to the Victorian industry.
“RMIT is one of the best equipped graphic technology training facilities in the southern hemisphere. Attendees will benefit from ‘try before you buy’ experience with the latest equipment in colour management,” says Crowther.
The courses are amongst the best in the industry and provide attendees with the in-depth understanding necessary to stay ahead of the game in the highly complex and competitive area of colour reproduction.
The course will be a blend of discussions, presentations and practical activities. In recent years attendees have included prepress managers, pressroom personnel, packaging graphics personnel, publishers and brand managers and DES has received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
The course is restricted to maximum of 10 students per class with two students per workstation, each of which has a Monaco Optix monitor calibrator and both Gretag MacBeth and X-Rite spectrophotometers. ICC profiling is taught using both GMB ProfileMaker 5 and Monaco Profiler Platinum with scanners and proofing printers also provided.
“These training courses are designed to provide hands on working knowledge of colour management tools, practices, processes and implementation,” says Crowther.
On completion of the course participants will have gained knowledge of the terminology, processes and procedures required to design, implement and operate a colour-managed workflow. Attendees who pass the certificate assessment will receive the highly regarded ‘Colour by Chromaticity’ certification for colour management implementation.
Topics will include:
The cost is $1,995+gst for the three-day course and the courses will be held between 23-25 August and 28-30 August. For more information contact DES on (02) 9736 6700, email
