Paper Company's Colour Management Seminars

A The Howard Smith Paper Group product story

Edited by the Printingtalk editorial team Jun 23, 2008

The Howard Smith Paper Group, has combined with Bodoni Systems to provide a half-day seminar on colour management and ISO 12647-2.

Howard Smith Paper said it believes the seminar will enable printers to question the experts on all aspects of colour management, from printing and proofing to the new ISO colour standards.

The seminars are supported by Howard Smith Paper and Epson UK, which will also be staging their own seminar.

The seminar will be held at Howard Smith Paper's Brackmills headquarters at Northampton (UK) on June 26.

The event follows the announcement, earlier this month, that Howard Smith Paper has become one of the first paper merchant companies to have products certified by FOGRA to colour management standard ISO 12647-2.

Those products include Think, Regency and Greencoat.

The company said that the seminars are designed for production managers and directors, senior pre-press operators and pre-press managers who are involved in day-to-day decisions about colour.

The half-day seminars will include a one-hour presentation from a colour management expert, a printer's case study and an open forum for questions.

Each seminar will be able to have a maximum of 10 delegates, allowing everyone to participate in the forum to ensure that their questions are answered on the day, added Howard Smith Paper.

Delegates will have the opportunity to ask how they could become a FOGRA -certified printer and whether it is worthwhile and if so what the disadvantages might be.

Other subjects will include ISO 12647-2 and how printers could control their presses to meet that standard.
