PRINT FINISHES AND PRODUCTION
WORKSHOP DATES

VENUE Lauterbach, STI Group
BACKGROUND
Offset, Flexographic or Digital...when it comes to print, STI Group has it all –
and all within a 50 km radius in Vogelsberg. Extensive investment in the latest
printing technology means STI Group offers state of the art facilities and a
wealth of expertise in all three print processes.
So, how does one decide which print process is best suited to a particular print
job? Does offset printing offer any finishing options that aren’t possible with
flexographic printing? At what quantities is digital printing more cost-effective
than offset printing?
These and many more of your print questions will be answered by our experienced print team during our free interactive workshops, which will be held at STI
Group’s Lauterbach facility on 29th and 30th June 2016.
Working in small groups, participants will have the opportunity to examine
printed samples, assess data quality and follow a print job as it passes through
different print processes.
Participants who complete at least three workshop modules can put
their knowledge to the test and receive a certificate acknowledging their
new skills.
Participation in all workshop modules is free.
