Taking it on the road - DES digital fine art imaging show travels Australia

DES is teaming up with print partners Canon Australia and Imaging Products to present three professional imaging roadshows highlighting the digital fine art sector.

Themed under the banner Input, Output, Display, the free roadshows will offer imaging professionals the opportunity to see the very latest capabilities available to them to develop their skills, Russell Cavenagh, national sales director at DES, said.

“Our expert staff will be on hand for the entire roadshows, so anyone who wishes to learn more about any particular aspect of these vitally important areas of digital imaging, can see for themselves what is happening right now, both here and overseas, and take new ideas back to their businesses,” he says.

Industry professionals who take the time to learn about the growing field of digital fine art will get the chance to check out the latest technology available for high quality digital image capture, colour correction and ICC profiles.

As the major sponsor and exhibitor DES will be highlighting business opportunities around printing fine art images on paper, canvas and other specialised substrates. Print finishing on tour will cover laminating, framing and mounting.

Attendees will have a chance to get up close and personal with the latest equipment through workshops covering the three major areas of interest — Input, Output and Display.

The professional imaging technology tour will kick off in Brisbane from 20 to 21 February, in Sydney from 27 to 28 February, and finish up in Melbourne on the 5th and 6th of March.

The roadshows will open at midday on the first day and continue until 9:00m, then reopen at 8:30am the following morning and continue until midday. That will give imaging professionals plenty of opportunities to make time to participate.

Among the manufacturers represented will be Canon (cameras and printers), X-Rite colour management equipment and software, German paper mill Hahnemühle’s fine art papers, Breathing Color’s high quality canvas from the USA.
