Trade association SGIAA is hosting a three-day colour management workshop at Starleaton in Melbourne, which features US print specialist and director of digital print programmes at the US SGIA Ray Weiss.
The SGIAA (speciality graphic imaging association of Australia) says printers will come away from this intensive workshop "with skills that will give bad colour the boot — improving production quality while reducing errors, waste, and customer complaints."
It says attendees will learn everything from colour theory (and its practical implications) to the latest techniques in media profiling, device management and how to apply the newest print standards to production workflow.
Specifically that means understanding why colour management is not a theory question, but a technology problem that you and your people can solve, how to apply the latest print standards and specifications to maximise customer satisfaction, how to use colour measurement instrumentation and profiling software for faster pre-press
and better quality control, and learning techniques for rapid device calibration, media profiling and print verification.
In addition to Weiss local colour guru David Crowther aka the Colour Doctor will be on hand to sahe his expertise with participants.
Colour Management Bootcamp takes place 2-4 April, with a maximum ten people on the course. Investment is $1500 + gst. Location at Starleaton in Melbourne, 5/163-179 Forster Rd, Mt Waverley. Click here to book and for further details.
