“It was large-format printing in a nutshell: from fine art and photography to posters to banners,” says Bill Szcepaniak, who attended the free hands-on printing workshop sponsored by Canon and LexJet held this past week in Irvine, Calif.

The next free workshop is being held next week, Tuesday, Aug. 20 to be exact, in Irving, Texas. Registration ends Friday, Aug. 16, and there’s limited space, so if you’re interested in elevating your large-format inkjet printing, boosting profits and expanding your market, call a LexJet customer specialist at 800-453-9538 and sign up by the end of the day Friday.

The workshop provides an overview of inkjet printing for a variety of fine art, sign and display and photography applications. It features a close examination of Canon’s printer technology and software, with operational and efficiency tips, followed by in-depth information on working with photo papers, fine art papers, canvas, films and vinyl, including hands-on demonstrations of various techniques.

You’ll find out what makes each inkjet material tick and how to finish, present and apply them. Moreover, expert presenters from Canon and LexJet will guide you through the most profitable, unique and saleable applications you can accomplish in your market.

For instance, you’ll learn all about canvas from start to finish: how the inkjet coating, material composition and finish impact the printed image, followed by guidelines on coating and stretching canvas, and the most profitable applications.

When you attend the workshops you’ll also receive a $50 gift certificate from LexJet, inkjet media swatchbooks, special printer and inkjet media promotions, printed samples and other giveaways. A continental breakfast and lunch will also be provided.
