Print • Full-time

Oct 2015 - Present • 10 yrs 11 mos

I have over 10 years of practical experience in the printing and packaging industry, specializing in prepress file preparation, CTP plate-making, print-ready PDF output, color management, dieline checking, and production file correction. I have worked on packaging boxes, brochures, books, labels, paper products, gift boxes, wine boxes, and commercial printing projects. My daily work includes checking customer files, fixing artwork issues, setting bleed and margins, reviewing CMYK and spot colors, preparing files for CTP output, and coordinating with printing and finishing departments. I am familiar with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, CorelDRAW, Adobe Acrobat, Preps, GMG, and CGS. My strength is that I understand both design files and real printing production requirements, so I can help clients prepare files that are clean, accurate, and ready for professional printing.
