Roland DG's Academy offers an 'Introduction to Digital Print' course

Roland DG has added an ‘Introduction to Digital Print’ to its Roland Academy courses. The new one day course, which starts in October, will be run at the Roland Academy at Walsall College and in Roland’s Creative Centre at its Clevedon HQ.

Joe Wigzell, Academy and Creative Centre Manager for Roland DG, comments, “The wide format market is changing rapidly as more and more companies and entrepreneurs see the value in investing in wide format and the flexibility and diversity it gives to their product portfolio. Our new Introduction to Digital Print course is a great complement to our existing range of courses. This is an entry level course, which aims to provide newcomers to wide format digital print and Roland’s technology with a comprehensive overview of the market they are entering as well as technical assistance and tuition on Roland’s equipment and software, so they can quickly maximise opportunities, profitability and the return on their investment.”

Attendees will also have the chance to have some practical ‘hands-on’ time with Roland’s machines through the course of the day; creating, producing and finishing three different products/outputs, with the chance to ask questions and gain valuable tips along the way from Roland’s experienced tutors.

Joe Wigzell continues, “It can be a daunting task learning how to use new hardware and software when you are unfamiliar with both the machine and the opportunities the industry presents. So, the chance to learn this alongside others who are in the same situation and have similar questions will help the learning process and adoption of best practice, ensuring the user gets the most out of their wide format investment from the start. Using precision machines like Roland’s wide format range to the best of their ability can only improve business performance and this course will provide beginners and start-ups with the tools to do exactly that.”

The ‘Introduction to Digital Print’ course is provided free as part of the introductory training package for those who purchase a VersaCAMM, VersaART or SOLJET wide format machine and at a discounted price for VersaSTUDIO BN-20 users.
