Setting up "guidelines" for PrePress
We are a state agency that purchased a Screen CTP system 18 months ago. Currently we have a Composing Room and a Plateroom that our director now wants to combine into a Prepress Department. I'm not sure where to start or how to set up position descriptions for employees that will work in this new department. How does one breakdown who does the preflighting, checking customer-provided files, trapping, imposition/layout, proofing? I have 3 people in Composing and 4 in Plate. The platemakers have been doing traditional platemaking until we purchased the CTP. Very few analog plates are being used. At least 2 of the platemakers will need training in desktop applications and PC use. Composing staff is familiar with the desktop stuff. How do I break through the barriers of combining two departments? Suggestions for preflighting would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance for suggestions and thoughts.
