Upcoming Color Management Workshops in NJ on 2/21/2009
Last month I conducted two color management/fine-art printing workshops at Xact Studios. a new pro rental/fine-art reproduction studio located in Hillsborough, NJ (near Princeton). They went extremely well, so I decided to offer three more color management/fine-art printing workshops on February 21, 2009 at the same location. These are all three-hour semi-private workshops.
