As a quality printer, the expectations of our work is very high, and the knowledge of our clients often savvy, which means we need to be savvier than they are. There were many things I knew going into the program, but there were also many things I didn’t know. Within a few lessons I had a greater concept of color and the conversion process. Having a greater understanding of color management has already served us well in effectively communicating color and setting realistic expectations with our clients. Every company has room for improvement, and with the education and training of CMP, I feel our company has a better foundation to do so.
