Nazdar® Consulting Services Offers Regional Classes

SHAWNEE, KS — Nazdar® Consulting Services announces regional training classes now available to printing industry professionals for the topics of color management workflow and hazardous material handling. Taught by industry experts, these classes entitled Increase Your IQ (Image Quality) and 49CFR Hazardous Material Training will cover basic and intermediate information over the span of two days.

Increase Your IQ (Image Quality) is a class where attendees will learn to use "one" color target to effectively match all printing processes through the use of Color Management Workflow, and acquire the knowledge of Color Management systems, regardless of their printing process. This class is recommended to anyone facing color challenges, including people interested in ICC profiling, Color Managers, Print Production Managers, and Prepress, Digital, Offset, Flexo, and Screen Technicians.

Along with comprehensive training, attendees will receive a software copy of CATZper™ Color Approval and Tolerancing by Perception, a breakthrough system of software and training that will deliver the first major innovation in color matching since the introduction of L*a*b* color tolerancing. Valued at $1500, this color management system will result in reduced press down time and job rejections due to color matching issues.

This class will be taught by Bruce Ridge, co-developer of the Chromatix® system, and Business Director for Nazdar Consulting Service. Bruce began and facilitated the Masterprint Color Training Program which has been presented to more than 2,500 printers in North America. He also serves as Lead Trainer for many of the Training Sessions NCS offers its clients.

49CFR Hazardous Material Training is an introductory-level course covering basic skills needed to prepare, offer and accept domestic shipments of hazardous materials. Instruction will focus on non-bulk packages transported by motor vehicle and meets applicable Department of Transportation requirements for initial and recurrent training. This class is recommended for personnel responsible for the safe shipment of hazardous materials, including anyone who fills packages, marks or labels containers, completes or signs shipping papers, loads or unloads vehicles, or operates vehicles used to transport hazardous materials.

This class will be taught by Erik Reed, Manager of Regulatory Compliance for Nazdar. With 15 years experience related to the ink and coating industries, Erik’s responsibilities include directing the classification of hazardous materials and training for all eleven Nazdar distribution sites. Erik has also conducted hazardous materials transportation training at SGIA’s annual trade show.
