"We've added six stops in our seminar series compared with spring last year due to heightened demand from companies that want their teams to get a strong foundation in color and learn best practices of color measurement," said Murphy Keeley, vice president of X-Rite Color Services. "Our 2011 spring tour will include updated information on the latest developments in color 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 color experts, this industry-leading seminar was created to provide practical information applicable to all industries dealing with color in easy-to-understand terms. X-Rite color experts first give attendees a solid foundation in the basics of color and appearance, and then provide instruction on how to measure, view and understand color data.
The $595 course requires no prior color training and will address color 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. For a limited time, attendees are invited to save 10 percent by using the coupon code FOCA11 when registering.
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 color 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.
Each location will have a drawing at the end of the day for one free seat of quality assurance software, a $3,200 retail value where the winner has the choice of X-Rite ColorMaster QAII, Color iQC Professional, or X-Color QC. All participants will also receive a $250 voucher towards the purchase of any X-Rite product, with a minimum order value of $2,500.
