Hello everyone! I’m David and I live in Melbourne. I would be very interested in going to an academy to learn everything related to printing, but also to learn how to operate and maintain Indigo machines. I’m an old-school offset machinist, but that’s old and with modern machines I’ll be out of date. Maybe you can guide me a little. Greetings and thanks.
