Within my role at the G1 Group I was responsible for carrying out both pre and post printing tasks. Firstly taking files and preparing them for print using Rasterlink Pro 5 software, these files were printed on a wide range and scale of media from several metre long banners to A4 posters using a Mimaki CJV30-130 printer. All printing was managed and produced in-house, throughout the working day I would co-ordinate with the Graphic design team and manage my time to ensure that all printing was completed to the high standard expected by the company and delivered on time. Working at G1 I learnt a wealth of new skills and developed pre-existing ones. I have developed key printing skills and adopted knowledge of the commercial printing process, learning about the diverse range of paper stocks available, how to apply vinyls and construct banners for example are key pieces of knowledge that I feel are crucial in developing professionally.
