MAPublisher training videos

Red Geographics is offering a set of MAPublisher training videos, with all necessary source data, on DVD. These videos, while not intended to replace a hands-on training course, will offer you a complete rundown of all MAPublisher functionality through a number of practical excercises.

MAPublisher LabelPro

These hi-res videos (1260x788) are produced using an English version of Adobe Illustrator CS 4 and spoken in English. The excercises are developed by Hans van der Maarel of Red Geographics, a noted MAPublisher expert with over 10 years of experience using MAPublisher and Illustrator. Special care is taken to match the excercises to real-world applications of MAPublisher.

Whether you are a long-time MAPublisher user, looking to keep your skills up-to-date, or a novice with no prior experience, these videos are an ideal way to learn about MAPublisher.
