The course, run by the Roland DG Academy and entitled 'Basic Application Finishing', will consist of both the theoretical and practical side of finishing vinyl, digital and laminated print.

Sam Sooialo, head of operations at Roland DG (UK), said the course was more relevant than ever as on-demand print has meant many printers need to "maintain control over as many parts of the production process as possible".

He added: "Increasingly, sign makers and printers are looking to bring more specialist skills in-house as the technology, price and footprint of new finishing machines means they are ideally suited for printers who wish to offer their customers an in-house digital print one-stop-shop."

The course will be held at the Roland DG Training Academy, based at Walsall College.
