PRINTING United Alliance, the most comprehensive member-based printing and graphic arts association in the US, has announced the launch of iLEARNING+, a collection of the most complete educational offerings and resources in the printing industry. iLEARNING+ is an e-learning platform featuring leading industry courses and certifications; reports on industry trends, best business practices and quality control devices, as well as environmental, health and safety resources. PRINTING United Alliance members receive a 20% discount on all iLEARNING+ products.

New iLEARNING+ resources will be added to the platform on a regular schedule each spring and fall to cover a variety of topics, including color management, customer service, design, estimating, prepress, press, postpress, Occupational Safety and Health Administration safety and wide-format.

The flagship iLEARNING+ course, “Orientation to the Graphic Arts,” was designed especially for those new to printing and graphic arts, but is also appropriate for anyone looking to update their overall knowledge of the printing industry. It delves into print production workflow with a complete blend of presentations, videos and learning assessments. Those who take this course will learn how a printed piece is produced — from start to finish — using prepress, pressroom and bindery equipment to be able to more effectively communicate about production-related topics. More about this flagship course can be found at www.ilearningplus.org/courses.

PRINTING United Expo attendees will have the opportunity to view a demonstration of iLEARNING+, as well as learn more about the program, at the PRINTING United Alliance membership booth, C4946. The expo will take place October 19-21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
