X-Rite and Pantone have made the Fundamentals Seminar Series – focusing on color science and quality control – available in an online learning format. In-person courses are also being hosted around the United States.
X-Rite Incorporated, a leader in color science and technology, and its subsidiary Pantone LLC, have made the Fundamentals Seminar Series – focusing on color science and quality control – available in an online learning format. The remote format consists of two courses and features self-paced modules, downloadable course guides, educational videos, product demonstrations and interactive activities. Attendees will learn about color theory and how to measure, control and communicate color to improve production workflows, reduce waste and meet sustainability goals. In addition to the virtual format, the seminar will also be held in-person this fall throughout the United States.
The Online Fundamentals Seminar is a two-course series with more than 10 hours of video instruction taught by X-Rite Color Experts. Attendees also have access to a discussion board and a live Q&A with an X-Rite Color Expert. X-Rite says the seminar is ideal for anyone who works with or specifies color, including quality control professionals, lab technicians, part suppliers, product developers, designers and manufacturers.
The courses include Fundamentals of Color and Appearance, which focuses on color and appearance science. From the physics of color to lighting, spectrophotometers and color data, this course will teach how to measure, view and understand color communication and data.
Also included is Fundamentals of Instrumentation and Quality Control, a hands-on, color quality control workshop using X-Rite instruments and software. Topics include creating color standards, developing appropriate color tolerances and measuring samples against target colors while analyzing the results.
Raj Shah, vice president of marketing at X-Rite and Pantone, says, “Together these courses provide a mix of color theory and practical information to help attendees implement color measurement and quality standards across their workflows and supply chains.”
In addition, the seminar series will be held in-person in Valley Forge, Pa., Columbus, Ohio, Rosemont, Ill., Green Bay, Wis. and San Jose, Calif. Registration for the two-day in-person seminar is currently open online.
