SGIA's new digital lab’s hands-on workshops and investigative analyses are just what you need to work more efficiently and get a handle on issues around color management, screen-printing profiling, inkjet spot-color matching, halftone screening, ink limits

and raster image processors.

As part of the lab’s mission to educate members on the industry’s best practices, three workshops have been developed:

• Intro to Digital Printing

• Color Management for Specialty Imaging

• Direct to Garment Digital

The Digital Imaging Lab, which includes the majority of technologies and processes used by the specialty imaging industry, has capabilities such as:

• Direct-to-garment digital printing on light and dark garments
• Long-term/short-term indoor and outdoor graphics printing
• Color management theory, practice and profiling for media, input devices and monitors
• Digital proofing and film positives for screen printing
