To whom it may concern:
I have over thirteen years in the prepress industry with extensive knowledge of pre-
flight and Digital Output using all the current Adobe software applications and six years
experience in my last position at A. J. Bart, Inc. in Addison, Texas as lead operator of
the prepress department.
Using Preps for imposition layout and the KODAK PRINERGY Digital Workflow
System the prepress department would image customer supplied files (Brochures,
Business cards, Letterhead, P.O.P Designs, Pocket Folders, Posters, Magazines, etc..)
to various Direct to Plate imagesetters.
I was required to fill in as manger when the department manager was away. I am
very good with customers and was often required to give technical advice over the
phone as well as in person.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Kent Hunter
