Isnt printing great!!! When I left maine back in 89 they begged me to come back and train a second man to run press for two weeks.My question was what am I gonna teach him in two weeks that he hasnt been able to grasp in the last two years hes been second man???????I dont care how long hes spent in college or how many books hes read trying to be pressman is strickly OJT.What I saw the most was companies want press operaters not pressmen.They are cheaper to hire but when something goes wrong most dont even realize they are in the #^^^^&e never mind what to do to get out of it.They just call in prisco and the salesman comes in with the latest bottled cure right in the trunk of his car.Another was when everything got switched from film to CTP and files came in encrypted so if there was a problem noone knew what to do to fix.Sit around and pick your nose for hours while they scrambled to get customer to give them encryption codes.another is they want one guy to do everything from feeding or rolltending to unloading stock or jogging while hes also trying to run press.The new work uniform should be blue tights with a red cape and a big S on the shirt.GOOD LUCK
