LCSC receives software donation
LEWISTON, Idaho - The Lewis-Clark State College Graphic Design/Print Technology Program has received a significant donation of software from Esko, a global supplier of integrated solutions for packaging, sign and display finishing, commercial printing and professional publishing.
The donation provides for a 20-seat license of Esko's ArtiosCAD and Studio 10 software, including their award winning Studio Toolkit for Shrink Sleeves. According to Esko, the global $3 billion shrink sleeve market is growing at about 7 percent a year. This tool will help prepare LCSC design students to enter this expanding and lucrative field.
"In terms of software, this puts us on the same playing field as Clemson and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo," said Brian Kolstad, an associate professor who teaches Graphic Design and Print Technology in the LCSC Business, Technology and Service Division. "Esko and the International Corrugated Packaging Foundation have been instrumental in helping us define and grow our packaging program efforts at LC," Kolstad continued.
According to its website, Esko employs around 1200 people worldwide. Its direct sales and service organization covers Europe, the Americas and the Asia Pacific region, completed by a network of distribution partners in more than 50 countries. Esko is headquartered in Gent, Belgium, and has R&D and manufacturing facilities in five European countries, the United States, China, and India.
