"Learn with PHOTOPRI: How data becomes a work of art"
When finishing a work into a printed product, the quality of the finished product can vary greatly depending on the texture of the paper, the color reproduction, and the data settings.
PHOTOPRI has prepared a program that allows you to experience the actual process from start to finish, while providing easy-to-understand explanations of key points that can only be understood on-site.
First, we picked up all 29 different printing paper sets that PHOTOPRI carries and checked the differences in texture and finish of each one. Next, participants will submit their photos on the spot, with assistance in adjusting the data for submission, based on the photo data they brought with them, and proceed to placing a print order. At a later date, they will receive the actual printed version of their work, allowing them to experience the difference in paper and color.
In addition, the course will also provide practical knowledge that only professionals in the field can share, such as "problems that tend to occur when printing and how to avoid them" and "points to consider when identifying a good printing company."
This is a hands-on workshop where you can experience the entire printing process - touching paper, preparing data, submitting the manuscript, and receiving the finished product.
