Wow...
Well the job pissed me off so bad it made me Quit.
Just walked out on my boss...I hardly come to him with an issue.
When I do...he flips out. (I only have 2yrs exp. in prepress)
(They have been gearing me up for prepress manager with a carrot for 2 years.)
I made shit $$ 13hr.
So...we hardly ever bounce files back to the customer.
I had one of the more experienced operators work on the file and JUST fix it correct. We had it on press 3 times and kept having issues.
The raster worked as far as the seps...but the trap did not work. I knew it would be a problem. Just was so busy today...I told my prod. mgr. it did not trap. looking at the Roam in the rip. He wanted to give it a shot. Just did not work. I dont know why it would not trap the tiff file.
Anyway we were having all sorts of transparency issues, color overprint issues with the Illy PDFs. After the raster trick....It all worked great but the TRAP. Now we need to go back to the Illy files, fix OP and Trans issues and just fix the sloppy mess.
Thats why I had the old school operator just start to fix it. It would of taken 1hr. I was done with trying tricks....just wanted to fix it.
But I get a bunch of BS from my boss....you shoulda called the RIP co., etc.
Use your head...blah blah. Well when I was working on the file late last night the RIP Co was not open for support...nor at 5am. In the past I'm told do whats fastest to get on press.
I have not hit a battle like this before...and when I look for support from my boss...I get a bunch of shit. NO SUPPORT or HELP...talked down to like a little kid. F-OFF the stress is not worth it.
Guess I'm back to some temp labor job with no stress @ $10hr...Its better than this BS.
I do like prepress....enjoy it. Just want a nice place to work. Where you can talk about issues, etc.
I made $50 M a year in Phx as a Store manager for Alphagraphics before I moved back home cuz I missed my Fam. and that was 1/2 the stress.
Thanks for letting me vent...I hope you all can get a laugh.
Hope to be back in prepress soon...but we'll see.
Bye for now...
