The
Courses
4impression courses are aimed at promoting understanding of the
print and packaging decoration process, and are focused on identifying
opportunities to reduce cost.
A core element of the training will feature
the latest developments in digital pre-press
and artwork control.
The option to visit leading print and packaging
organisations and the ability to customise programmes to the needs
of companies and
their supply chains is what makes our training unique.
Exclusive
single company courses can be arranged so that all packaging decoration
issues can be addressed and confidentiality
assured.
With the exception of longer residential courses our courses are
generally designed for
small groups
of up to eight people to allow for effective demonstrations
and to accommodate individual training needs.
1-2-1 Training
Personal and customised training on print and packaging related
subjects.
Accelerated 1-2-1 coaching sessions customised to the needs of the
individual that facilitate the rapid dissemination of information
with maximum and immediate benefit.
Useful for developing insight into new technologies, processes and
innovations.
1-2-1 Training is ideal for personnel new to the print and packaging
sector and those who are involved in roles where the specification,
purchasing and control of print are important.

One Day Courses
4impression one day courses are listed below:
Understanding
Digital Repro & Pre Press
Digital repro is the key to high print quality and brand consistency worldwide.
Understanding the digitised artwork process and its management will radically
re-shape the way you view your supply chain relationships and will present
new routes to controlling and reducing costs.
Improving
File and Image Preparation
By understanding what adjustments are needed to digital files
prior to print, you will be able to enhance our own image preparation
and communicate more effectively with your supply chain.
Using "hands-on" practical exercises delegates will be
able to manipulate files (including their own designs) to enhance
results and compensate for different materials, print processes and
press configurations.
What
is colour management?
Eliminating colour variability caused by different materials
and processes will enable you to achieve the desired printed
result.
Obtaining predictable colour reproduction can be a challenge because
each device - digital camera, scanner, monitor, or printing press
- responds to or produces colour differently.
This course held at Jennings DAR will explore the latest colour management
systems and virtual proofing, that seek to reproduce colour as precisely as
possible.
Printing & Decoration Techniques, Technologies & Applications -
making the right choices to reduce your costs and maximise the
visual appeal of your packaging
This jargon free course will provide a clear understanding of all the printing
and embellishments that are available and will explain how to make the right
choices in order to optimise the visual appeal of the pack.
The course will cover all the major print and decoration methods in detail
and explore the new technologies, materials and processes that are emerging.
Innovation
in Print & Packaging
The course will explore emerging technologies that are set
to drive packaging forward and that will enhance it in new and
innovative ways
Understanding
Print
A series of presentation modules covering all the major print processes used
in the manufacture of labels and packaging materials - from basic principles
through to the latest developments.
Digital asset
control and management
Covering the latest developments in artwork control, global networking, repro
and pre-production, the integrated printing concept will be brought to life
using interactive and hand-on demonstrations.
Packaging & the environment
Concern over the environment and the perceived negative impact of
packaging waste has seen a tightening of legislation and increasing
penalties for those who generate it or fail to meet stringent government
targets
This course provides an overview of the latest environmental legislation
and its effect on the packaging supply chain and explores some of
the challenges and issues facing the label sector.
Total Applied Costs
This course highlights the key elements requiring consideration
when deciding the most cost effective method of decorating a product
Rather than looking at any one or more criteria in isolation the
aim is to take a wider view of self-adhesive, wet glue, sleeves,
IML, direct decoration etc and evaluate these solutions in terms
of total applied cost.
What is the total cost of labelling a pack to the required quality,
performance and application speed, within a specified time frame?
Understanding Self-adhesive Labelling
Today more people are using self-adhesive labelling than any other
method.
Its use for both primary product decoration and for a variety of
functional purposes continues to grow at an astonishing pace
Innovation has been the driver of this growth fuelling a diversity
of formats, uses and applications.
As well as providing stunning on shelf graphics for retail brands
self-adhesive labels are used as security and anti-counterfeiting
devices, as creative carriers of promotional messages and for tracking
and stock control purposes.
The purpose of this course is to help brand owners and end users
increase their knowledge of self-adhesive label system, update themselves
on the latest developments and to illustrate the benefits and flexibility
of this labelling method.
Digital Printing for Packaging
For companies that have adopted digital print technology it has
transformed the way they think about print and the way they operate
they businesses.
This course looks at those digital printing technologies that are
relevant to the packaging sector and highlights some of the advantages
and disadvantages versus conventional methods.
How to achieve a consistent brand image
This course will provide a unique insight into the specification,
management and control of visual communications and printed packaging
in an increasingly global market
It will address all the factors that can impact on achieving the
perfect and consistent reproduction of a brand image and highlight
many of the problems associated with print quality and colour control.
Taking a range of branded products from concept to print, the module
will chart the progress throughout the supply chain from specification
via pre-press to proofing and then to final print.
