Hello everyone

My name is Gary. I am a 52 year old disillusioned designer. Now working for a small printers locally. It now seems that anyone with a home computer and a digital camera calls themselves a designer. The state of this industry is not what it used to be.

But hey ho.

Great forum to be on.

Hello,

I work for a small company in Norway. I have a bachelor´s degree in Media, ICT and Design, and my job title is graphic designer, but after one year of employment in a small digital/offset-press company I believe my title should be adjusted to graphic designer/prepress tech./ICT-consultant/receptionist/coffee-maker. But I like it

I'm not going to list every piece of equipment we have, but I'll tell you about the stuff I operate.

Pdf: Enfocus pitstop professional plugin for acrobat and pitstop extreme.
Impos. and Proofing: Imposition publisher and firstproof.
Rip etc.: ECRM ripmate. Cmyk optimizer.
CTP: ECRM mako 4-matic and a raptor developer. Fuji plates.
Printers: Xerox Docucolor 250. Xanté envelope printer with stacker and transport belt.

We have two presses; one Ryobi five color with UV coating and infrared dryer and one Ryobi two color, but when I deliver the plates my job is done

Looking forward to learing more. About everything.

Hello All,

I was introduced to this community by a friend and hope I can add something along the way. I have been in the print industry for over 25 years and know my way around. At the moment my real focus is digital technology. On the digital print side I have used gear from the big 3, Xerox, Canon, Ricoh ... I am currently looking to upgrade my html skills and add to the mix a bit of JDf.

For now I work at a production facility located in the picturesque hills of New England, my day starts early and tends to be long.

Hi, my name is Brendan. I've worked as a press operator/printer for 33 years. Had a shop in Portland, Oregon USA for 7 years, went down in flames. LOL I've found that whether I'm in a high-end shop or a hole in the wall, there's always some way to create something excellent. I got smart and left the big city for the big island of Hawaii where I'm a one man show and my job isn't the most important thing in my life for a change.

I have a thread in 'Computer to Plate' and I'd appreciate some feedback. Cheers!

Hello All,

My name is Tyrus Chen and I am an assistant who works for a prepress company in Taiwan. Recently my company started a new digital printing department and I was assigned. So I now have to study this new field and look forward to learn a lot from everyone in this forum.

I've been printing since i was kid. I come from a craftsmen of printers and now i
have embarked into digital printing. We have seen many changes in the printing
industry and hesitated in digital. We are now running 2 Hp Indigo 3000 and its
been a fine move. However, easy printing is fun but it has taken the challenge
of our trade. Our volume is high and less pay. We are happy we have been able
to survive the pass 2 years and plan to expand and move as much as possible
with the ever changing Printing Industry we cant clean the marks of our hands off.
