SCREEN PRINTING, PAD PRINTING AND STENCIL MAKING TRAINING

PDS deliver practical and theoretical training covering all aspects of screen printing, pad printing and stencil making. The training is delivered on your premises, using your equipment. More than 25 years experience in industrial printing has given PDS Consulting an enviable level of expertise.

Many user companies consider that printing demonstrates a lack of consistency not experienced in other production processes and it is this variability that can inhibit performance. This has resulted in the printing industry recruiting "Skilled Printers" from competitors. This has led to stagnation in the level of skill in the industry, with a band of itinerant printers who move from company to company carrying their bad habits with them. The effect of this is to reduce the pool of genuinely skilled printers whilst the need for them is growing at an ever increasing rate.

Particularly in screen printing, very expensive, sophisticated machinery is coming into a competitive industry and control of all aspects of this equipment is essential. Downtime and rejects will destroy the viability of these new technologies and the need is for more highly skilled operators and technicians. Screen and pad printing can be turned into a predictable production processes.

The greatest causes of variables are the techniques that the printer adopts, along with ambient conditions and the quality of consumables. All these elements will be addressed in a structured training programme. Whether you are using a hand fed single colour machine or a fully automated multi-colour line the same principles and techniques can be applied.

PDS Consulting have highly qualified, expert trainers who will work with your staff. Whether they are new to the process or very experienced, the techniques that are taught will enhance their performance and open new avenues of skills and techniques.

Since PDS Consulting are an independent company we have no ties to any machinery manufacturers or consumable suppliers. We are happy to work on all types of machines, of any age, at any location.
