HI, I'm new here... sort of
I've been reading, but never posted. I'm a Typesetter at the end of his run. I took over a very small business in Kansas City last fall. We started out in 1981 with Editwriters (still have a manual and a filmstrip, wish I had a 8086 chip from one). Had some success, but my partners took the cash assets out and we fell behind the curve. Now I'm just hanging in (I'm in my late 50s). Still run some film for the diehard commercial printers who are my clients.
My skills are behind the curve too. Have used Quark since 2.2 as my primary layout program. Up to 7.0 now... also have CS3. Have never worked in a major prepress shop, just some newspaper and agency freelance work in the 90s.
PPF is a great look into the modern prepress world and I enjoy the time I spend here.
Thanks to you all.
Chuck
