This seminar was designed for someone new to the printing industry - whether working at a printing company or new to buying printing. As a custom manufacturing industry, there are many variables that affect every printing job, and having a basic understanding of the terms and processes is invaluable.

This dynamic traini...ng session is ideal for a new salesperson, CSR, print buyer, or graphic designer entering our industry. This full day seminar provides a thorough overview of the entire print process, a “paper basics” section, and plant tours along the way.

Held in the training room at Marcoa Publishing, the great benefit of this beautiful facility is that throughout the day, students will tour the facility to gain an understanding of the classroom portion.

Speakers:
Neil Bruington, a graphic arts instructor in San Diego County. His 27-year career at Palomar College included heading up the graphic communications department as director, chair and lead instructor.

Joyce Pekala, founder of Strategy Green, has spent over 20 years in the paper, printing and graphic design arena. Her Strategy Green consultancy focuses on Sustainable/Green branding and projects for corporations and the graphic arts industry.
