New Printing Processes and Terminology
What You Will Learn
This class has been designed to provide attendees with elementary knowledge of basic printing processes and terminology. Minor digital and traditional prepress and printing processes along with other forms of printing (letterpress, gravure, screen printing, duplicating and copying, and digital presses) are discussed.
Additionally, ink on paper and other substrates, spot color, and process color are covered, and paper and envelopes (grades, weights, usage, sizes) and the Government paper system are discussed. Post-press finishing operations and binding, GPO printing procurement, and the Quality Assurance through Attributes Program are covered as are both traditional and desktop publishing.
The 3-day class is not a substitute for a degree in printing or an apprenticeship, nor is it a substitute for publishing knowledge or experience, but attendees will receive useful general knowledge. This class should preceed Best Practices for Desktop Publishing and Effectively Communicating to Get the Printing You Want.
Note that Effectively Communicating to Get the Printing You Want is free upon payment for this course!
Target Student
Government employees involved in publishing who have little or no knowledge of traditional or electronic printing processes and terminology should find the class valuable. It is also a good review of both processes. This course is recommended prior to Effectively Communicating to Get the Printing You Want.
