Event Details

MCPF Seminar 5th December 2026 in association with Permajet

Resume your Passion, Get Motivated - Get Back to Printing

This year’s seminar has at its core a workshop designed to help you:
Understand The Basics of Colour Management
To be able to produce prints of exhibition standard

The Workshop, designed and delivered by PermaJet,
will, it is hoped, set you all on the road to successful printing
and, hopefully, get those awards flooding in.

The Morning Session 10.00 hrs to 13.00hrs
The Basics of Colour Management (Print with Confidence)

Why do we need colour management?
Monitor calibration, why and how
Choosing the right paper
Paper profiling, why and how

Lunch Break
The Afternoon Session 14.00 hrs to 16.30 hrs
From Print to Perfection

Delegates can bring an image on a USB Pen Drive. These will be discussed and suggestions will be given of paper types that may suit and enhance the image.
The PermaJet range of papers will be discussed so the delegates can appreciate the importance of choosing the right paper for the right image, and how it can make a huge difference to the final print.
This session is designed to be interactive, delegates can ask questions and study the papers prior to their prints being produced.
A Canon Pro 300 printer will then print off the delegates images on different paper types so the difference can be seen.

“I attended the Printing Seminar hosted by the MCPF at the Old Schoolhouse.
I am a complete novice, having printed one, yes only one image so far having bought my printer at the Photography Show from Permajet.
Although the whole process sounds very complicated and there are so many variables, Colin explained the different aspects and gave us all hope in being able to achieve the perfect print.
When asked - what paper shall I use? Colin turned into a true politician and answered that question with a question, and then another question and then another. It is not black and white (excuse the pun) it is very dependent on what you want to achieve and so on. On the day we chose two different papers for our own image to be printed and it was amazing to see the effect the paper had on the outcome. We shared these images and it was a great way to learn. Our hosts, the MCPF not only provided an excellent venue but also laid on a model to boot.
A fabulous day for all, and I can definitely recommend this seminar to anyone who already prints or is just considering it”.
