Monitoring and Controlling Color in the Pressroom
February 12-14, 2019
This hands-on course allows participants to mix and match ink colors in the lab and then demonstrate their comprehension and abilities on press. In other words, participants are able to apply learned color theories in an environment that provides the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge. This real world application allows for the retention of material and the ability to implement this knowledge using a deliberate and efficient process when returning to the sponsoring facility.
This course covers the definition of color, viewing conditions, and color evaluation tools and equipment as well as how to: identify a color, request matched ink from the ink manufacturer, interpret color data and manage ink on the press to maintain color.
