The Digital Academy at Antalis in Coalville.

Antalis UK is to present a series of workshops aimed at print service providers looking to expand their knowledge of new applications and explore opportunities to extend their services and increase revenue streams.

The workshops will commence in September and take place at the company’s Digital Academy, based at its headquarters in Coalville, Leicestershire.

The first workshop, which will be held on 11 September, will focus on signmaking, with host, experienced signmaker, author and presenter Paul Hughes, providing a comprehensive overview of all aspects of signmaking, including the application of vinyls, vehicle livery and signboard making. It is intended to help both new employees and experienced printers looking into the sign and display market for the first time.

Colour management will be the theme of the second workshop, which will take place on 24 September. It has been developed for companies looking to achieve consistently high quality output and repeatable colour across a range of different digital devices.  This workshop will be conducted by Jan Edgecombe, who will share his expertise drawn from 10 years of installing large format solvent and aqueous printers, proofing solutions and production RIP software.

The final workshop will take place on 30 September and will focus on printers looking to explore business opportunities within the fine art market. The ‘Frame what you print’ workshop will be run by framing expert and experienced presenter Jack Siwinski, and includes an introduction to framing, practical demonstrations of mounting and laminating as well as a discussion on the resources and equipment required.  

Places on the workshops are extremely limited and will cost £50, to include materials and lunch.  For more information or to book your place, email digital.academy@antalis.co.uk.
