This monthly workshop, which will commence from January 2015 and shall run up to December 2015, will focus on various subjects from chemical usage, plate handling, book binding to using colour measuring equipment and data handling and security amongst others.

The brainchild of BMPA president Faheem Agboatwala, the workshop will be in the form of a three hour session including two hours training followed by Q&A. These sessions will be organised alternatively at GIPT and SIES GST.

“The idea is to create a platform for skill upgradation of the print personnel at the grass root level. Since we are trying to educate our workforce, the training will be imparted in Hindi. BMPA has collaborated with PWI and the two printing institutes in Mumbai - GIPT and SIES - in order to put together a year-long plan,” said Agboatwala.

This first of its kind workshop series will be inaugurated on 17 January 2015 at GIPT, Mumbai at 10:00 amwith AGS’ Vishnu Kamat’s session on ‘Correct Usage of Densitometer and Spectrophotometer’.

Agboatwala has requested all the print CEOs to register their staff members for this session. The available 50 seats will be registered on first come, first serve basis­­ – two registrations per company­. For registration purpose please contact: admin@bmpa.org
