GJS Machinery has recently renovated a new 150 square metre training facility at our factory complex in Padstow – NSW.
This new facility houses over 20 new, high quality, pieces of machinery offering the latest technology. These will assist in training people in all different aspect of screen printing, pad printing, plastisol heat transfers, dye sublimation transfer systems, etc. A fully qualified trades person conducts these technical trade courses.
This course is totally designed around the objective of providing students with a first hand experience in the many aspects of the screen printing and heat transfer field and enabling them to confidently produce a quality, multicoloured and perfectly registered print in both textile and graphic area during the course.

At the end of the day, individuals leave with extensive knowledge of the screen printing procedure for both textile and graphics. All attending will take home a 4 colour t-shirt and 2 colour poster which they produced. GJS Machinery will also supply a technical booklet outlining a complete summary of the day's activities.
Classes are held for individuals or groups of up to 3 people to ensure that all students develop a thorough understanding of the process.
Dave Wood will be the instructor for the One Day Technical Printing Courses.
