Refine your skills at finishing school
A new one day finishing course has been added to the Roland DG Academy portfolio of digital print courses. The new module, Basic Application Finishing, is designed to provide sign makers and printers with skills in the basic preparation, application and finishing of a range of vinyl, digital and lamination media.
Head of operations, Roland DG (UK), Sam Sooialo, said: "Increasingly, sign makers and printers are looking to bring specialist skills in-house as the technology, price and footprint of new finishing machines makes it cost-effective to offer an in-house digital print one-stop-shop. Taking finishing in-house also enables the printer or sign maker to maintain greater control over both the quality of the finished product and the timeframe in which it can be produced."
The course consists of theory and practical sessions at an introductory level with question and answer opportunities throughout the day. Attendees will learn finishing techniques including preparation, weed face and dry application of cut vinyl; application of flood coating to board; wet and dry digital print to board; etch films to glass; and wet and dry digital print to glass, as well as basic lamination and mounting techniques, including application to contours and curves.
