SALARY REQUIREMENTS NEGOTIABLE
At Saltus Press, I replaced the prepress technical and production managers, and was responsible for deliverables and scheduling to 4 conventional sheet-fed presses, 2 Kodak digital presses and 2 cold web lines. Radically redesigned the entire department ie. Workflow, equipment, training & automation. Quadrupled department output capacity, drastically revamped their contract proof color control to Gracol7 compliance in digital and sheet fed and to SWAP on web lines. Changed 2 shift department with a staff of 15-16 to nearly 24/7 coverage with a staff of 10 (rotated on call 12 hour week end shifts. Trained and advised customers to maximize impact with their publications while reducing their turn time and cost. I also worked directly with dissatisfied customers turning them back into loyal happy customers, as well as, served as project manager for a couple accounts.
Although this experience is NOT Flexo I have processed many flexo jobs in the past. I am also able to grasp new concepts, information and technologies quickly and analytically explore creative solutions to problems in any workflow and am confident that my experience will lend itself well to flexo printing.
