The popular Fundamentals of Color and Appearance that
also will be offered in those locations teaches practical
color theory and applications, while Fundamentals of
Instrumentation and Quality Control seminar builds on that
color theory with hands-on exercises and color management
topics
GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan - January 24, 2012 - X-Rite,
Incorporated (NASDAQ:XRIT) is taking a new training program
on the road this spring to 10 U.S. cities and Canada that
supplements the company's popular Fundamentals of Color
and Appearance (FOCA) by providing hands-on training on
sample measurement, data collection and reporting for
quality control.
The new Fundamentals of Instrumentation and Quality Control
(FIQC) one-day seminar is a response to customers who have
a working knowledge of color theory and want to learn more
about how to prepare samples, interpret data, set
tolerances and store and retrieve data. Both seminars are
aimed at helping quality control and assurance
professionals, lab technicians, parts suppliers, pre-media
and digital pressroom personnel and manufacturing
specifiers on how to evaluate and approve colors in their
workflows.
Experts at X-Rite Color Services will teach the day-long
seminars starting in February in Chicago; Nashville, Tenn.;
Cincinnati; Clemson, S.C.; Rochester, N.Y.; Baltimore; Los
Angeles; St. Louis; Toronto, Canada; Milwaukee, Wis. and
Portland, Ore. X-Rite is the world's leading designer
and manufacturer of color measurement instrumentation and
software, as well as a provider of related training and
support services. The corporation is the parent
company of Pantone LLC, known worldwide for its standard
language of accurate color communication in the graphic
arts and other industries.
For the complete agenda and online registration, visit
http://www.xrite.com/seminar or call 888.439.4403 to speak
with seminar coordinators and register by phone.
The cost of the FOCA seminar is $595, and the cost of the
FIQC seminar is $895. Those who register for either seminar
from Jan. 24 to Feb. 24 will receive a 10% discount. X-Rite
is offering a bundled price of $1,295 for those who
register for both seminars. The seminars run each day from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and continental breakfasts and lunches
are provided.
"These seminars are particularly effective and fun
because we encourage hands-on participation," said
Joel Schick, Business Development Manager of X-Rite Color
Services. "Attendees are asked to bring their own
samples so they can develop best practices in measuring the
colors of their products to improve and monitor workflows.
We love it when the attendees come prepared with questions
about their quality control needs."
Attendees should check if the X-Rite seminars can qualify
as continuing education under certain accreditation
programs.
Geared for those without any prior training, the FOCA
course addresses 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. Attendees are given a solid foundation in
the basics of color and appearance, and then instruction on
how to measure, view and understand color data.
The FOCA course is not a prerequisite for taking the FIQC
course, but those registering for FIQC should have
familiarity with color measurement nomenclature and basics.
Attendees of either seminar 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.
Each location will have a drawing at the end of each
seminar 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.
There will also be a drawing at each location for a free
license to X-Rite's eLearning course called Color
Theory: Understanding the Numbers of Color, an interactive
eLearning course that brings X-Rite's experts into your
home or workspace at your convenience.
All attendees of the seminar tour are eligible to win an
X-Rite CAPSURE handheld color-matching tool which will be
given away to five lucky individuals at the completion of
the tour.
