how to shorten make-ready time, lower consumable costs, increase
efficiency throughout your workflow, and increase the return on
your recent investment in color management equipment. Attendees

process control, be introduced to the key concepts of the G7
methodology, and also improve their understanding on spot color
management from Pantone.
The morning session will look at offset press process control
with a particular focus on process color. The afternoon session
will focus on flexographic press process control with a particular
focus on packaging and spot colors, including Pantone.
