Thanks to Painovoimaa-project in Metropolia we offer today a 30 to 35 credit Printing Technology minor that provides the student with the essential understanding and skills that are needed in order to become a professional in the industry. The minor has been divided into two parts: Orientation to the world of Printing and Printing Industry (15 cr) and Professional Studies (15 to 20 cr). The orientation studies introduce printing methods, materials, visuality, marketing and business economics and give to the companies in the industry floor to tell about the trends. In the professional studies emphasis is on the knowledge and skills of digital printing, prepress, color control, B2B selling, Package Printing and it includes also a practical company-oriented project, where students solve real issues.
