Inland Label Avails itself of Heidelberg Program
“There was some fear and skepticism among our operators at first,” Billing acknowledged. “Some feared we were using the testing to get rid of poor performers, but all that fear went away when they realized that our goal was better and more targeted training.”
In developing the Operator Evaluation program, Heidelberg drew a distinction between equipment-specific training and an opportunity to test general knowledge across several categories. About 150 multiple-choice questions rate the test-taker’s practical understanding of general printing knowledge; basic color; color management; feeder; plate, blanket and impression cylinder; dampening and chemistry; inking; coating and anilox rollers; delivery and drying; symbols on control consoles; integrated Prinect Color Measurement devices. Online access via browser or mobile app makes the testing easy to take part in, and evaluations are customized to specific equipment setups.
