An introductory workshop demonstrating how to understand color from monitor to press and beyond. The seminar is broken into three parts. The first section demonstrates how to go beyond four-color process with touch-plates, ink substitution and stochastic using a comparative demonstration of the same image. The second section addresses Color Management. Expert tips are recommended for getting better color and managing the digital workflow. Lastly, the third section goes beyond four-color and shows a variety of techniques including UV, special match inks and Extreme Silver (also known as MetalFX and Liquid Foil) to expand and augment the standard print gamut.

 

 

Integrated Marketing, Multi-Channel Distribution, Social Media/Networking are a few of the many descriptors currently used to describe the new business models being implemented by advertisers, marketers and media strategists. Our consumer society is abound with new devices, many hand held, as primary sources for communications and intra-connectivity which leads traditional, legacy medias such as television, radio and Print to ask the larger questions. Where do we fit in? Is Print truly a waning media? Is it being replaced by "disruptive technology"?

 

A discussion on how the print industry can evolve its share by proving its effectiveness as part of the communications mix: how does Print complement Social Networking and the Internet; how will eReaders and Tablets impact Publishing and readership; how using QR codes and Augmented Reality codes can add a multi-media and multi-dimensional aspect to enhance the Print experience.

 

Using elements from Sappi's Life with Print US and European campaigns, this discussion demonstrates the truly unique way print adds value to capturing memories, imagination and attention to build brands, sell goods and deliver corporate messages. Focus is on generating visibility for the concept of print as a superior communications mix within the creative community and among advertising and marketing decision makers and influencers.
