ROCHESTER, N.Y., & SAN JOSE, Calif.--July 27, 2004-- Graphic designers and printing professionals can learn the latest techniques to achieve superior results with digital printing at a free seminar series that will visit seven U.S. cities during July and August. The Adobe Creative Suite Tour, from Adobe Systems Incorporated and sponsored by Xerox Corporation, offers two free half-day sessions: one for creative professionals and graphic designers, the other for pre-press and print production professionals. "Increasing awareness of digital printing capabilities among designers, pre-press and print production managers, and other print buyers adds powerful new digital communications solutions that complement traditional print," said Tom Wetjen, vice president, Xerox Worldwide Graphic Communications Industry Business.

The two-day seminars are expected to draw as many as 400 attendees for sessions led by industry experts from Adobe and Xerox.
