The OCCO
Education Committee has announced that the 2007 - 2008
OCCO Printing Ink Technology Course (Year 3 - Liquid Inks)
will begin Monday September 17 at 6:15 pm at George Brown College,
St. James Campus, on King Street in Toronto.
This is the 31st year of this unique course that provides theoretical
and practical knowledge about printing ink processes, raw materials,
formulations, and various aspects of the manufacturing.
Although the 3 year course is designed primarily for individuals
in the printing ink industry, it has proven extremely valuable
to suppliers to the printing ink and graphics arts industries
as well as printers who have wanted to acquire additional information
about printing and printing ink.
