Hands-On Computer Labs at GRAPH EXPO

“Hands-on” is often the best way to acquire or polish technical skills, and this fall’s GRAPH EXPO® and CONVERTING EXPO® is ready to help industry professionals master their most important tools with a series of practical, guided computer lab sessions.  
      
The eight “hands-on sessions” are among the nearly 70 seminars comprising the educational program at the year’s biggest printing and graphic communications exhibition, which will be held October 15-18 at McCormick Place in Chicago.        
Each lab session will place participants at a Mac workstation, where they will be guided by an expert through such processes as color profiling, photo retouching, preflight and file repair, and workflow management.  Session leaders include highly-experienced, skilled instructors from Rochester Institute of Technology, California Polytechnic State University, PIA/GATF and several well-known industry consultancies.    
    
Complete information about the GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO educational program is available online at www.graphexpo.com, along with online registration for both the seminars and the exhibition.
