X-Rite, Incorporated, the world leader in colour management, measurement and communication technologies, today announced that it has nearly doubled the locations this spring where it will be offering its Fundamentals of Colour and Appearance (FOCA) one-day seminar that instructs quality control and assurance professionals, lab technicians, parts suppliers, pre-media and digital pressroom personnel and manufacturing specifiers on how to evaluate and approve colours in their workflows.
Colour experts at X-Rite Colour Services will host the FOCA seminar series starting in March in Charlotte, NC; New York City; Las Vegas; San Francisco; Portland, OR; Baltimore; Cincinnati; Nashville; Houston; St. Louis; Denver; New Orleans and Vancouver, Canada.
“We've added six stops in our seminar series compared with spring last year due to heightened demand from companies thatwant their teams to get a strong foundation in colour and learn best practices of colour measurement,” said Murphy Keeley, vice president of X-Rite Color Services. “Our 2011 spring tour will include updated information on the latest developments in colour measurement technology. The success of our series is based on providing convenient, top-notch training to our attendees in a cost-effective manner."
Taught by X-Rite colour experts, this industry-leading seminar was created to provide practical information applicable to all industries dealing with colour in easy-to-understand terms. X-Rite colour experts first give attendees a solid foundation in the basics of colour and appearance, and then provide instruction on how to measure, view and understand colour data.
The course requires no prior colour training and will address colour control for a variety of industries, including retail and apparel brands, business and consumer electronics, automotive, graphics arts, packaging and their related industries in plastics, coatings, and textile manufacturing.
In addition to the training, each attendee will receive an X-Rite Munsell Interactive Learning Kit that reinforces the lessons with worksheets, samples, and exercises, as well as X-Rite’s exclusive Fundamentals of Color and Appearance book that acts as a reference on colour in easy-to-read language. The seminar runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and includes continental breakfast and lunch.
Attendees should check if the X-Rite seminar can qualify as continuing education under certain accreditation programs.
