Description
Print Production is a nationally certified Print ED program that prepares students for a career in graphic design, page layout, illustration, photography, and production. A MAC based lab allows students to learn how to edit and create original graphic art with professional grade software. Our print production lab rivals what you would find in industry with such things as a vacuum deck, auto feed, 4'x8', CNC cutter; a banner printer; a professional grade t-shirt screening station; book binder; and professional/industrial grade print station to name a few. If you have an image in your mind we can create it digitally and produce it in multiple formats.
Up to 17 college credits can be earned through the Art Institute of Washington based on a portfolio review. Qualified students in Print Production can also earn 3 college credits through Carroll Community College.
