Learn Superior Printing Techniques at SGIA's Workshop

Fairfax, Virginia - In today's competitive marketplace, it's essential for specialty imagers to stay on top of the latest printing trends and techniques. SGIA's upcoming workshop, "Graphics Four-Color Process: Controlling the Variables" (April 13-16; Fairfax, Virginia), teaches you how to master the task of printing process color.

Industry experts Bron Wolf, Pratt Corporation; Mike Ruff, Nazdar Consulting Services; and Ray Greenwood, SGIA, will take you through four days of intense, hands-on learning and show you how to:    

• Use a densitometer to measure and control density and percent dot    
• Control critical variables in color separations    
• Create a screen to produce quality four-color prints    
• Troubleshoot and analyze print results    
• Implement a step-by-step process for "fingerprinting" your press    
• Gauge process printing variables and their affect on color reproduction

"There was tremendous coverage of the color printing fundamentals and how they affect the four-color process," said previous Workshop attendee Jeff Holley, Procter & Gamble Co. (Cincinnati, Ohio). "I have a much better understanding of what affects color quality and how to communicate with print suppliers in solving those issues."

Combining lecture, interactive exercises and printing demonstration, the Graphics Four-Color Process Workshop provides the tools and knowledge needed to produce high quality, four-color process printing. Participants are encouraged to bring samples of their production problems for personalized help throughout the week.

Workshops are held at SGIA's state-of-the-art printing lab in Fairfax, Virginia. SGIA members receive a discount off workshop fees. For more information and to register, go to SGIA.org, Keyword: Events.
