seize opportunities to secure your

uture success

Globalization is opening up many new opportu-

nities for printing companies. But in order to seize

them, printers have to continually invest in their

own skills. Print shop employees as well as teach-

ers and those working for printing industry sup-

pliers require sound knowledge of the processes

and practical workings of prepress, press and

postpress, in addition to commercial and business

skills. To meet these needs, the Print Media

Academy offers Print Professional, a unique train-ing program that provides the latest practical

know-how on printing processes and modern

technologies.

i you

practice-oriented training opportunity,

and training, or

wishing to bring your knowledge up to date,

then the Print Professional course offers you

a unique chance to gain the capabilities andexpertise you need to secure your future.

theory and practice

Print Professional pays equal attention to provid-

ing a solid theoretical base and hands-on practical

experience. What is learned in the classroom is

put into practice in the pressroom: Course partici-

pants get to roll up their sleeves and perform the

actual tasks involved in producing real print jobs.

They experience all processes rst-hand, from

designing a print product and carrying out print

preparations to printing and postpress nishing.

Attendees are directly familiarized with various

printing techniques and special applications, such

as inline coating in theory and practice. They

also learn about the hardware and software used

in todays printing industry.

Field trips to printing companies and binderies,

and also, of course, to the factory of HeidelbergerDruckmaschinen AG in Wiesloch and the Print

Media Academy in Heidelberg, round out the

program by providing rst-hand, eyewitness im-

pressions of how the graphic arts industry

really works.

custom-tailored

Print Professional supplements the knowledge

and skills taught by basic training programs and

specialized Heidelberg courses. The content of

each course is exibly tailored to the participants

level of expertise and personal training goals. At

the end of their training, all attendees receive a

certicate that documents their participation in

this unique program.

Because the number of participants in each group

is limited to 15, the teachers can address their

particular needs and wishes. On request, individual

courses can also be arranged. The course offerings

are available in English and German.

During their stay in Germany, course participants

also get to experience the country and its people:

entertainment and cultural events round out the

technical training.
