I prepare cost estimates and job tickets, analyze artwork for problems, and schedule due dates and delivery.

This includes checking and correcting spot and process colors, bleeds, and margins. Common changes to supplied art include editing text, replacing graphics, and adjusting page sizes. I also set up art for new jobs, including booklets, brochures, pocket folders, banners, signs, posters, and vinyl cut items. I do a large number of variable data jobs, including bulk mailings, tickets, invoices, and variable data letters. Show less
