Hey all, my name is Devin and as I have been "outed" by my wife I will fess-up to exsisting on this forum. I work for a small family owned business in Central IL. We have 4 web press lines, full bindery and mailing depts. We are currently adding a 12 unit DGM w/2 folders and some UV ovens.
I am primarily a lurker as my brain usually works better than my hands or my mouth in conveying things and stuff.
I started in "printing" in 1984 stacking mailbags full of labeled catalogs - we printed the catalogs for Computer Direct (1.2 Mil that year I think).
I quickly found a way to escape that hell and started helping on the web presses - years pass having me doing every job in the shop including manual stripping and running a line camera - then I decided that electronic prepress looked like fun.
It was for about a week, 12 years later I'm still shackled to an imagesetter even though it is a different one and my chain is longer thats my gig.
I am chained to a server cabinet that has hardware (too apothetic to detail)
running ApogeeX (2.5) driving 2 Avantra 44 filmsetters. DTP may be soon but as my wife mentioned our current customer base of small weekly newspapers are just discovering computers.
I really enjoy this forum as the members typically refrain from "flame and ignore" tactics.
Work beckons.
