In an industry where precision, efficiency, and innovation determine success, sound expertise is the most important asset. The Gallus Print Academy training system was specially developed to help printing companies make the transition from conventional printing processes to digital and hybrid printing.
In keeping with the principle that "modularity is key," the training program is also modular in structure. This allows customers to put together their own individual program and receive training from our printing experts directly at their production site.
