I'd like to thank the printing companies who contributed so much to this course.
The folks at Anderson/LA graciously allowed us into their house to film.
Thanks to their President, Luke Westlake.
Carl Baucom, Senior Account Manager, took us
through the entire plant through every department
and showcased the people and machines that create a huge variety of printed projects.
Production Manager, Bob Eghert took time out of his very heavy schedule to show
us how he keeps track of all the details required to make a complex job a success.
Prepress Supervisor, George Mendoza is from
the same old school printing tradition
that shaped me, I really wouldn't mind having him for a boss.
Walter Nalasko whipped up a couple of quick impositions
for us, and he made it look so easy.
And I enjoyed meeting Pablo Florez, who took the
time to show us how the indigo press works,
and how much he loves it.
I also want to express appreciation to staff
at Burdge Cooper, and Lithographix, who have let us
film a wide variety of print production processes, from
digital printing to die cutting, embossing and foil stamping.
All of these very kind folks have made the print courses possible.
Their passion for the craftsmanship of print is obvious, and I hope mine is, too.
As for your next steps, you might
enjoy my Print Production Fundamentals course and
you'll find useful information in the Print
Production Essentials Series, which include spot colors
and varnish, embossing and die cutting and packaging.
And let's not forget that you can hone your skills in Photoshop
and Illustrator and InDesign by watching some of the numerous lynda.com courses.
So now it's time for you to go out
there, create a fabulous print project and make me proud.
