Color Management for Digital Sign Makers
I am on tour again! This tour runs from July 11 to October 4 will feature myself as well as Mark Gundlach of GIA. The focus of this tour will be to educate large format printers and designers the necessary concepts needed to manage color digitally. We look at the fundamentals of color science without turining you into a color geek. We will also define necessary terms suchs as Profile, Calibration, Linearization, and Delta E. We stress the importance of understanding how profiles work and what you can expect from ICC profiles. We define color measurment devices like colorimeters and spectrophotometers and how they differ from densitometers. One of the interactive and dynamic parts of the seminar surrounds the procedure for managing ink on cast or calandered film. Dark Ink Restrictions, Linearization, Total Ink Limit, and Profile is our Mantra. It can be a lot of information but it's what you need if your frustrated with getting the right color. I personally urge you to get educated and put what you learn into action. Many of the seminar attendees have taken our seminars before and come with lots of questions, which of course we welcome. So if your a beginner or an advanced user you will get something out of this informative one day seminar. Also, some cites have a second day detailed and advanced RIP training seminar on Onyx 7.0, the latest Onyx Graphics has to offer. Onyx is a powerful RIP and it has got even better with a new Media Manager and tool set such as Layout. Check out more information from Onyx and if your interested check out the DSM page from GIA. I hope to see you there!
