This was an eye-opening experience The Pyramid method of profiling has helped direct us to stay on tract when building a profile the proper way."-- Terri Bender, Express Image "Prior to the SGIA Color Management Boot Camp we had very limited knowledge and understanding of color management and the importance of verification. Thanks to the folks over at SGIA and Dan Reid we have been able to incorporate the fundamentals of color management to our workflow and create a new process for color verification which has helped reduce our overall damage rate for color related issues. The class was phenomenal and the instructor was excellent.
