Hi, my name is Milos, and i`m a beginner desktop publisher, sort-of working as an apprentice in a small print shop. I hope you won`t be too harsh in criticizing my newbie questions

Hello all! Another female in the business. Been in printing since May 1994. Love the craziness and many opportunities to learn. I started out in bindery, ran an MBO, Bourg, Rollem, cutters, drills, shipping, etc. I then worked customer service (my least favorite job). Always in charge of inventory and ordering. Ran a press a few times. Had tons of fun! Learned some stripping over the years and now into preflight/imposition. Next week I start in typesetting.
??So... who is Sparky? What is your local business?

hmmmmm tcp-albany? you in Up-State NY?
Sparky is a tired old Lithographer, who after 35+ years in commercial printing is ready to call it quits. If I take iinto account my background in photography and street sense of hard core marketing and sales I grew up with my dad, I'd say I've been at this trade for about 45 years or more.

Salutations, all. I am a newbie to the forum. I have been in the printing biz for over twenty years now and still don't have a clue what I want to be when I grow up. I work in the prepress department of a business forms printing facility (ZZZ's)...not exciting commercial work but it will do until somebody very rich wants to pay someone to actually hand draw cartoons. I know - I live in a time warp and I'm not coming out any time soon. Seriously, I have been searching this site for a while and I think it is great - solid advice/instruction mixed with a double shot of humor. Please be kind, we got all this digital stuff in 2004 and I still have the scars to prove it. I have many things to learn and it looks like I came to the right place to beg for help. Thanks, Papa.

I just wanted to introduce myself.

Im new to this forum.

I am a graphic artist/ prepress manager in a new jersey print shop that does mostly thermography.

Nice to see a forum for pre-press people.

I look forward to exchanging ideas and other information with the people here.
