Vienna, VA

This was a traditional "service bureau," where, in a customer-facing position, I recreated and/or prepped desktop publishing files for color separation. Film negatives were then developed in-house that could be taken to a print shop for offset printing. Here I gained valuable experience learning all aspects of offset printing: trapping, bleeds, pagination.
