Press Trouble Shooting

[maynardsayswhat]

I've sent quite a few joggers/floor helps off to the press manager in search of the elusive paper stretcher.

That thing pays for itself! =)

Also, little known fact: Ink gets hot when you mix it. Here, put your hand near it to see!

We would send newbies to get a jar of halftone dots.

We had a can of halftone dots...it was the blanks from the plate punch.

We would get the apprentice to take the floorjack for a certificate of fitness to a garage that was in on the joke and about a mile or 5 down the road.

It's not hostility

It's not hostility

So why all the hostility? Show your Press-room some love, after all they still are the bread and butter in every Print house I have ever been in, and I am yet to meet a pre-press person with the pay of a good Press operator.

This is not hostility it is pure affection We would not spend so much time in this forum if we were hostile (oh there is no kiss emocon here :*)

Over meditation - classic.

Just shut up and run the press...and this is from a pressman

Haha he didn't blame prepress…*yet

Wait....it wasn't prepress's fault in the first place? Maybe that's the problem, didn't yell at prepress FIRST so that they could figure what's wrong while everyone is pointing fingers at them.

OO!! Halftone dots! I'll have to remember that! We use the paper stretcher frequently! We sent the latest newbie down to the basement to look for it. We sprawled over 4 spaces in our building....there isn't a basement.
