PRINT PRODUCTION WORKSHOP
Our one-day Print Production workshop is hugely interactive. Using our print library, attendees have the opportunity to review and explore print formats, processes and finishes.
The workshop focuses on managing creative print Collateral, Press Advertising and Out of Home. Starting with the basics of the print process we move on to colour management, file types and how to manage image resolution.
After learning about stock, proofing, formats, finishes and knowing which print process to use for Collateral, we move on to Press and Out of Home. We look at how to read a media schedule and how to effectively brief a repro company and printer.
Finally our trainer works with everyone to write artwork briefs and print specifications using physical examples.

DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
Our in-house print production workshop was great! The content was excellent. Jay was a great trainer and was super helpful in making sure it was relevant to what we do. I would highly recommend this workshop.
Head of Production
Thank you, great overview on how to deliver print project. Been able to preview samples really help understanding how print can still be a medium that can provide innovation to our campaigns.
Digital Project Director
Having the technical knowledge behind the print process will help me to be more efficient in my management of projects and the wider team. I’ll be able to anticipate and plan requirements rather than react to questions around the brief.
Account Manger
I found the Print Production workshop really insightful. The available print examples bought real clarity to what’s possible in print and Jay was able to answer lots of questions I had on live jobs.I learnt loads about managing colour and what file types to use and I feel much more confident in briefing designers and art workers. As a digital producer, I now feel much more confident in managing integrated campaigns.
