Mr. Vishal taught with Color Wheel and Color Guide, also participants were provided some color pages for their future reference.

This session was very interesting for all participants because they were facing lots of problems due to incorrect color printing, their jobs get rejected and client satisfaction was not there only due to wrong color representation.

Mr. Vishal taught everything with perfect examples like "Clothes", "Tiles", "Skin Tone" etc. On special demand of small offset printers he added session of Black and White conversion of Multicolor Photographs.

This was the best session among all of the other as per participants feedback.
