Printing technology institute to be established in India

Tirupur Export Knit Printers Association, Tirupur, India, has plans to establish a printing technology institute in the city. Concerns about a shortage of employable talent are worrying entrepreneurs in the knitwear printing segment of the textile supply chain in Tirupur. The institution, scheduled to be operational during 2009–2010, will offer a three-month diploma course in printing technology that will focus on screen film development, management systems and color room techniques.
