X-Rite Incorporated, a global leader in color science and technology, and its subsidiary Pantone LLC, today announced a fall Fundamentals of Color Training Series in 12 locations throughout North America. The seminar classes are designed to help attendees understand and establish color quality standards across their organizations. The interactive seminar is ideal for color specifiers, quality control professionals, lab technicians and anyone who evaluates or approves color. Attendees can register for either the two-day seminar or one of the individual sessions:
