At Mclarty Printing a print specialist produces printed material on high quality copiers, printers, and presses. The specialists meets with clients to discuss their specific goals, handle pre-production, and supervise the printing process. Clients approaching Mclarty Printing will meet with the print specialist to talk about what they need and discuss the specifications. These include the number of items, colors to be used, and any limitations, like budget concerns. The print specialist can help clients determine color schemes, select papers for projects, evaluate color samples, and perform any other work to prepare for a project.Some clients have their own digital files, which the print specialist reviews and uses to print proofs. Once the client approves the project, production can start. In other cases, it may be necessary to convert files, or use hard copy material like an old brochure to generate a new product. Part of the job involves determining whether a project should be produced by press, printer, or copier. Some considerations can include the colors used, if any, the paper and weight, and desired finishes like gloss or waterproofing. Print quality can also be an issue, as some equipment can produce crisper, cleaner finished products than others. Size of a project can also be a limiting factor, as very large printing projects may not fit on the beds of conventional printers and copiers.After a project is finished and the client is satisfied, the print specialist can file the information for future use. Clients may request another print run in the future, and having the necessary files and materials available, including samples of the finished product, can be helpful.
