This in-depth study will reveal a complete snapshot of digital printing color consistency as well as the business and technologies of digital print.
Other conference highlights include production workflow reports and keynotes sharing insights and trend analysis regarding the convergence of the creative, pre-media, electronic and traditional print workflows. In the learning lab, attendees will receive hands-on training on critical workflow processes and software applications from independent experts on state-of-the-art workstations. In the technology track, experts will share innovative solutions and lead discussions about best practices in premedia and color reproduction. In the leaders track, business and technology leaders will evaluate the impact of new technologies on the effective operation and profitability of their enterprises.
