Forums For Press?

Hi,

This is a really great forum for PRE-press.

I'm curious, does anyone know of a similar forum on the 'Net for PRESS operators? It would be interesting to see whare the state of the art in sheetfed printing is at these days.

I did 10 years of hard labor in the pressroom. I guess it stays with you for life, even if it was a very manual job. I'm still not sure I have ALL of the ink out from under my fingernails, even after a decade out of the pressroom.

It would be a great way to grow the site, and provide a natural communication line between the press room and prepress area.

So, why not create that here. A section for presses, press questions and pressmen in general.... I second that vote if that was what Matt was hinting at. How about it Cory?... anyone else think it would be a useful forum?...

I've thought about expanding it, but honestly I don't want the forum list to get too big. I've seen forums try and tackle too many topics and it seems the information gets so spread out, that the activity dies.

can be an opportunity for someone to start a press room related forum possibly.
