DTP&pre-press

Regardless of the way the files are handled in the company, the knowledge behind the decisions made is essential. How to deal with documents provided by customers, which tools to use and how to do it most effectively. Each training is based on examples taken from actual situations. We make a full case study, preferably based on the client’s experience. Details of classes are prepared individually for the participants and the purpose of the training. The pre-press part can be completed by additional classes with the machine to show the impact of digital changes on the final effect live.

about color and managing it

Color management is a process that begins long before the creation of color profiles. At the basis is the selection of appropriate paints with suitable densities, the method of imaging and dot gain curves (TVI). It is only when the expectations are determined that you can go to the part related to creating profiles.
The classes begin with the transfer of theoretical knowledge, allowing to understand all the mechanisms at the creation of color, with particular emphasis on the participants’ perspective – whether they will be operators of Indigo, rotary offset or specialists from the color control department. Then we focus on all aspects that are the purpose of the training.

operator trainings

In order for production to run smoothly and be really efficient, clearly defined work hygiene is needed. It consists of details such as the types of substrates used for calibration, ways of its implementation, determining the condition of fluids in the machine… Frequently, operator training starts with solving current problems, while in progress we expand it with knowledge explaining the cause of issues and how to avoid them in the future .
The range of issues is determined by the type of production carried out in the printing house, the requirements set by the management board and the expectations of Clients. The whole process is then supplemented with the implementation of new technological solutions, including colour solutions.

conferences, events…


conferences
industry meetings

Marcin spoke at numerous conferences and events, both in Poland – the Academy of Color Management, Dare2Design, Nacisk, and abroad – Dscoop Vienna, Dscoop Dublin, Dscoop Dallas, Fine Art Printmakers Conference Vienna. He’s very keen to attend university lectures – University of Arizona, Lodz University of Technology, Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź and writes articles for the World of Print.

themed workshops

We organise closed workshops in a chosen field, both as a part of events related to printing, and completely independently. Among other things, we conducted paper workshops for Antalis; workshops related to the subject of paints for Hubergroup Polska; for HP in Israel. Show us the area, and we’ll make an event that participants will not forget for a long time!


Beyond Color

Furthermore, we are taking our first steps in creating our own conference, addressed to a small group of specialists in the field of color and imaging – Beyond Color Conference. The first edition took place on March 25th, 2019 in Lodz and gathered very favorable opinions of the community.

Wanting to share the knowledge and spread good printing practices, we have completed a series of free meetings “Mocni w Druku” in few cities in Poland,  which broke the attendance records and proved to us and others that printing in Poland is alive and well.


Marcin Dąbrowski

During trainings, I share the practical knowledge gained through the implementation of several thousand of orders including design analysis, printing and bookbinding. I lectured at universities (Wrocław University of Technology, Lodz University of Technology, Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź), with cooperation and commissioned by companies and organizations (including Apple, HP, Antalis, DSCOOP, Eizo, Nikon and Allegro) and for employees of many printers and graphic studios. I have been actively teaching classes since 2007 in Polish and English.
