Edale’s print and technical services manager, Darron Shimmons, leading a small group discussion
Edale hosted its own training day on 17 June at its head office in Hampshire, which included presentations and practical training from supporting companies Fujifilm, Cheshire, Lohmann’s, Reproflex3 and Alphasonics.
The aim of this course was to train supervisors, pre-press personal and operators in the different variables that could improve print quality and how to implement them.
Companies were split into smaller groups to allow one on one time. Half of the day was spent listening to presentations and participating in interactive discussions, and the other half was based in the showroom alongside the FL-3 flexographic printing machine with hands on experience and practical sessions.
Account manager, Louise Bailey, commented, ‘It was great to see so many people getting involved, engaging not only with the suppliers but also each other in group discussions and on the press. As the day concluded the positive feedback was exciting to hear.’
Attendees were impressed with the various subjects covered that contribute to improving print quality and also the information that was available on new technologies to assist this.
The company will be holding its next training day in October, ‘How to improve productivity’.
