Since the 1950s, the National Association of Printing Ink Manufacturers (NAPIM) has held its annual National Printing Ink Research Institute (NPIRI) Summer Course with an eye on providing education and training to graphic arts professionals.
The five-day course is evenly broken into paste and liquid ink modules and provides classroom and hands-on experience in formulating and testing inks and running presses, while also providing the latest information on key topics including regulations, color matching and more.
The 2018 NPIRI Summer Course just completed its second year at the Sonoco Institute at Clemson University, the home of an excellent graphic arts program that features outstanding educators and facilities, including offset, flexo and digital presses. This year, 50 attendees gathered for the classes, which were taught by industry experts.
Judging by the attendees, the NPIRI Summer Course is ideal for learning more about the world of inks.
“I really enjoyed the summer course and learned quite a few things I can use, especially flexo related,” said Mike To
