Prepress and Industrial Printing

In the Basic Course, we will communicate which of the five possible printing methods are used to print on which materials and what the basic requirements for each are. Printing method analysis and specialist nomenclature will be applied and implemented here. Be it banknotes or T-shirts, magazines or posters, and of course book printing – everything is explained and reconstructed by looking at examples. Color theory and a knowledge of the different papers as well as their applications are further topics covered in the course. Subsequent courses look at using offset printing and students are taught the skills necessary for printing in A1 format independently: so they can create posters, brochures, diplomas – even entire books.
