Fespa has announced the return of its ‘Coffee Break’ webinars. Hosted by Graeme Richardson-Locke, the organisation’s head of associations and technical lead, this second series will see the audience hear from industry experts on process control, sustainability, colour management and automation.

The webinars, which will be free to attend, have been launched after the success of the original eight, which took place from October 2020 to March 2021. Those episodes attracted 1085 attendees from 130 countries, with 75% being ‘very positive’ in their feedback.

Head of associations and technical lead Graeme Richardson-Locke commented, ‘Fespa’s Coffee Break webinars are centered around Fespa’s core purpose – to educate, inspire, connect and expand the speciality print community, and we’re encouraged by the positive feedback from delegates on the webinars’ role in enabling printers to make business decisions that will fuel their future growth. We’re excited to be returning with a new series as we continue to focus on supporting the speciality print community. In the upcoming episodes, we’ll be delving deeper into process control, sustainability, automation and colour management and we’re thrilled to be joined by highly knowledgeable industry experts to help us to do that.’

The first instalment of the new series will take place on 18 May with Mr Richardson-Locke being joined by Fespa colour expert and owner of The Missing Horse Consultancy, Paul Sherfield, as well as Craig Dennis, reprographics specialist and founder of the Colour Den. The trio will discuss customer satisfaction and how printers can meet and exceed expectations whilst considering how they can be successful in ensuring consistency, clarity and measurement, as well as highlighting the importance of colour management workflows.

The second webinar will follow on 1 June and will focus on print industry standards, available certifications and why they’re valuable. On this occasion Mr Richardson-Locke and Mr Sherfield will be joined by Laurel Brunner, managing director of Digital Dots, to offer advice on how printers can implement best practice processes to meet industry standards and deliver premium quality products and services.
